Wreathing Workshops

Weekends in November and December are very busy at Kings Creek Trees. Exciting wreathing workshops are held every weekend. Book early, as we always sell out long before the workshops take place!

Our customers tell us they have never seen wreaths so full and beautiful as the ones we supply. Our wreathing workshop participants love to be able to take home such a beautiful, large wreath, with the knowledge that they made it themselves! It's easy and fun, plus it's a time out in the country.

Some of our wreathing workshops include a morning session. Here, we take participants through our forest and explain many of the different types of tree species, lichens, mosses, and so on. We coach participants on how to prune evergreens in a sympathetic manner, so that new growth will always come back for future wreathing workshops! We provide lunch and, time permitting, a tour of the tree nursery before the afternoon wreathing workshop begins.

Morning greens gathering tours start at 11am. Wreathing workshops start at 1pm and usually finish by around 4pm. We usually provide homemade chili or soup and some bread for lunch.

Afternoon wreathing workshops include a presentation on the different types of greens available for wreaths. We demonstrate how to prune the cut boughs for wreathing purposes and how to make "bunches" for the wreath frames. We then demonstrate how to use our very safe, manual foot operated wreath clamp and we coach participants in the making of their wreath. Once finished, there is a demonstration of bow-making from the ribbon we provide and we then talk about the different types of conifer cones available.

We provide the ribbon to make bows and cones to decorate your wreath. Should you wish to use additional decorations, we recommend bringing whatever you like to see on a wreath. We will gladly assist you with attaching your decorations. You can then take home your fully decorated, large wreath (about 30 inches in diameter)
