What’s in season (November-December)?

by | Nov 1, 2024

Are you a Christmas fanatic ? This year, more than I can remember, there seems to be an early onslaught of Christmas frenzy.
We had our first Christmas Wreath Workshop enquiry in August !

I’m a bit of a last minute .com when it comes to Christmas , even if I attempt to be organised I still arrive at the week before totally chaotic and in a mild state of panic .
Fortunately, pulling off an event and making it look great is part of the job so I always manage it by the skin of my teeth even if all the presents are wrapped in brown paper and raffia !

November is a busy time for us , preparing for and marketing our many Christmas wreath workshops. These have become so popular over the past few years and very touchingly many of you return each year . This year as well as running our usual classes from our shops and Hove flower school we have also teamed up with Waitrose in Haywards Heath. By day their cafe bustles with chit chat and wafts of cake and coffee , by night it becomes a wine bar hosting various workshops including our own. So , if you are tempted by an evening of delicious tapas and wine courtesy of Waitrose and would like to learn how to make a beautiful festive door wreath this is the perfect collaboration.

We provide all the necessary ingredients and equipment and our florists will guide you skilfully through the lesson.
This class is perfect for large groups and we can even make sure you have your own private table.

If workshops are not your thing our beautiful new 2024 Christmas Wreath collection is now live on the website or you can pop in store and ask one of our florists to create a bespoke design for you. Our very popular wreath kits are also available on line if you are thinking of hosting your own Christmas Wreath making evening.

Hard to believe that wraps up 2024. It has been a whirlwind and as ever we are immensely grateful for all your loyal support, and most importantly our amazing team who continue to take the business from strength to strength ! You are the best !

Wishing you all love and peace and a very Happy Christmas, mine will be spent obsessing over the best present EVER ! My beautiful Granddaughter ❤️
