This event is sold out. Please join us for a different event in the future.

Nothing brings warmth to a home in winter like a homemade wreath. Join Stoneleigh staff for a guided workshop to create your own festive wreath using fresh greens and other natural materials from Stoneleigh’s diverse plant collections.  

 We’ll provide the materials, detailed instructions, and guidance so that you can walk away with a gorgeous wreath fit for your front door. Please bring gloves, pruners, and a bit of creative energy. A large box will be helpful for transporting your new creation. 

 Meet at the Carriage House. Class will be held indoors.

For nearly 80 years, Stoneleigh was the home of the Haas family, which donated the property to Natural Lands in 2016 so that it would remain preserved forever.

The property includes stately trees, winding pathways, and lush gardens that were designed by a number of notable landscape architects over the past century—including the Olmsted Brothers, sons of the famed Frederick Law Olmsted.

  • Bring pruners, gloves, and wire cutters/snips. We will have a small selection if necessary. 
  • Meet at the Carriage House (link to the map here). About a 5-minute walk from the parking lot.
  • Class will be held indoors. 
  • Service animals are welcome as required by law. Pets are not permitted. 
  • The terrain is relatively level. There is about a mile-and-a-half of porous paved pathways and a mile of asphalt roads that are accessible to people who use strollers, wheelchairs, or other mobility aids.
  • Accessible bathrooms are available on-site.
