Workshops and Events
At different times of year, I offer a range of workshops and events to share my passion for growing flowers and creating decorative beauty from natural, seasonal materials. These range from making fresh and dried wreaths and flower crowns to tulip picking, flower arranging, and botanical pumpkin decoupage using pressed flowers from the garden.
Details of dates and local venues will be listed on this page. Book a place on a workshop using the form linked below, or get in touch with Rachel at byhomesteadgrown@gmail.com with any questions.
I also offer tailored workshops, sessions and talks for groups and private parties - if you would like to chat about tailoring something to your event, please get in touch!

Now that there’s a definite whiff of woodsmoke and autumn in the air, this year’s Christmas wreath workshops don’t seem so far away on the horizon!
Plan some time out before the busyness of Christmas to join me in the gorgeously rustic barn of the Random Apple Co. on the rural edge of Macclesfield or in the urban-chic Bollington Brewery Taproom in Macclesfield town for one of our popular festive wreath workshops.
If, like me, sustainable, local and natural is your preference and you like your wreaths a little on the wild side, then this is for you …
What to Expect
You’ll work with responsibly-foraged foliage, dried flowers & seedheads, hedgerow finds, feathers and velvet ribbons to create a beautiful wreath that reflects your style. All tools, materials, and step-by-step guidance are provided. Mulled drinks, nibbles and home-baked treats will help you settle in and enjoy the creative process.
Who It’s For
Many people tell me this is where their Christmas begins. Usher in the festive season with friends, colleagues, family or come solo – it’s equally ideal for returners or first-timers looking for creative inspiration and help.
Workshops can be gifted as a voucher to a friend or family member, and group bookings can be arranged.
