Okay, friends — it’s happening. The holy grail of fall farm fun is almost here: our Dried Wreath Workshop! This is hands-down one of my favorite days on the farm all year. If you’re even remotely crafty (or just high on pumpkin spice and good intentions), this is your sign to grab a seat.
On October 18th, we’re taking over the bank barn — and trust me, she’s lookin’ good — to celebrate the art of dried flowers, fall vibes, and good company. We’ll kick things off with a little field adventure down to the willow hedges, where you’ll learn how to wrangle those bendy branches into your very own wreath form. It’s part farm stroll, part arts-and-crafts, and a little bit like a fall version of summer camp (minus the bug bites....maybe).
Then we’ll head back to the barn, where the air smells like dried flowers and nostalgia. You’ll have full access to our 2025 season’s worth of dried blooms, and together we’ll build wreaths that capture all the colors and textures of the year. I’ll spill my secrets on which flowers dry best, what you can grow yourself, and how to stash away those bouquet bits before they hit the compost pile.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with two creations: a fresh willow wreath form (because you made it yourself, you overachiever) and a fully finished dried floral wreath that’s ready to hang — no Pinterest fails here.
It’s one of those magical farm days filled with laughter, color, and creative chaos. I’ve already picked out the exact nail on my wall for this year’s wreath because, let’s be honest, my collection is starting to get a little out of control — but can you really have too many dried flower wreaths? (Asking for a friend.)
So come hang out with me on October 18th, play with flowers, and soak up a perfect fall day in the Valley. You’ll go home with something beautiful, a heart full of happy, and probably a few petals in your hair.
XOXO, Jess
