Wreath Making with Northwest Botanista

The wonderful Downpour Brewing in Kingston once again hosted another successful Botanista workshop! I am so grateful to have access to the perfect space for plantcrafting- it is covered, large outdoor heaters are warming up, personal little buddy heaters are available to whoever is feeling chilly, the beverages are flowing, we can make a mess, get our creativity on, and have a blast making amazing fresh wreaths to take home!

Nov 20th 2022 - everyone striking a pose as they’re almost finished! Some had to leave early and others were still working- see additional pictures in the gallery below.

Check out this array of ornaments, pine cones, baubles, dried grasses, flowers, fruit, and ribbon for bow making:

Workshop fun in Kingston!

These past few months have flown by and yesterday was extremely hot, hitting 90F. I spent the past few days preparing, watering, and moving some special plants in pots around to more shade. I still have 3 more summer container clients (yes, into July!) it’s been busy busy.

Downpour Brewing in Kingston has been hosting my plant workshops this spring and I’m looking forward to more! We’ve made succulent dish gardens, Japanese Kokedama hanging balls, and arranged sedums in unconventional containers. It is so fun to see everyone’s creativity!

Here are a few of my favorite shots from the last few workshops:
