Floristry workshop & wreath experiences

Join Debbie from The Northern Flower Garden for a seasonal series of floristry workshops at Gibside.

  • Booking essential

Debbie's expertise and creativity make these workshops a real treat for anyone keen to learn something new. Each session is a standalone experience, perfect for a day out with friends or a chance to try your hand at a new craft.

Each seasonally-themed workshop will teach you something new about floral design. Past sessions have taught you how to use bouquet spirals, arrange a Japanese Kokedama 'moss ball', create Easter wreathes, colourful spring-time compositions and arrange boho bouquets.

With only 10 places per workshop, you’ll get plenty of hands‑on guidance in a relaxed, friendly setting. Each workshop lasts up to 2 hours, with wreath workshops lasting up to 3 hours. Your ticket includes a drink, a baked treat and entry to Gibside, making it the perfect creative day out surrounded by nature.
