Making Christmas Wreaths with The RHS

Today we had a masterclass with Sarah from the RHS who showed us how to make Christmas Wreaths.

We made a circular shape with long lengths of Ivy, and then wrapped more lengths of Ivy around and around to make a thick wreath shape.  Green garden wire was wrapped around to help keep the shape of the wreath.  We then move in holly, Ivy seed heads, berries, dried orange and apple slices and a few pine cones. 

Here are a few of the finished wreaths.

Now we know how to make the wreaths we are going to make a few more next year to sell as we have had lots of enquiries about them from our staff.
