Succulent wreath workshop

Yesterday Mum and I had the pleasure of attending an amazing workshop to make wreaths out of succulents hosted by my friend Jools from A Year in my Garden and run by my VERY clever and beautiful friend Mrs Munro. I received a beautiful wreath as a Christmas present last year (you can see it here) and after some cajoling and convincing Brooke and Jools got together to host the first one in the beautiful spring sunshine down here in the Southern Highlands.

The workshop ran from 10am to 3pm we had plenty of time to make our wreaths from vine, prepare the stockings, wander the garden, have an amazing long lunch and then finish off our wreaths as a summer storm rolled through the afternoon. There were then brownies and coffee before heading home with our works of art with us to keep.

It was SUCH a lovely day (how could it not be in those surrounds with all those lovely women) and I am so proud of my friend who is just so clever and whose talents are just starting to be shared with the world. Of course I took just the odd photo…and I was SO proud of my finished creation that I just had to share it with you all!

  3. These are so beautiful! I wish I was a neighbour of such creative people!

  4. I was so sad not to go. I have conversed with Mrs M about buying one before and I was so excited about the workshop. I am hoping the next one will be on a free day. Looked like amazing fun.

  5. Ohhhh Beth, how gorgeous – EVERYTHING! I just love those wreaths, can you please make me one and pop it in the mail, thanks. Now, what about that table setting – looks like Jools will give you a run for your money in the tablescaping arena!!! That table was stunning and I love the menu, I just love everything about that day – especially the glass of wine. Oh and I also spotted my friend Annie in one of the photos, isn’t she just the most divine human ever!!!! I haven’t seen her for YEARS, possibly since my first child was born! What a fabulous day Beth, thanks so much for sharing. Now off to stalk Jools and Mrs Munro.

    It was such a fabulous day, wasn’t it?

    I’m so glad you took lots of photos because I took hardly any. There’s one photo of me looking at my hands. Not sure what was going through my mind, probably ‘I need to wash these grubby hands so I can eat that lovely lunch!’

  15. It all looks amazing…I love your finished wreath!
    I went to a moss ball workshop a while back and it was great fun…and somehow my moss balls are still alive!

    PS I think of your sister a lot…I hope her pregnancy is going well…and best of luck to her!
