A Morning of Creativity: AB Walker Visit Sonning Flowers for a Festive Wreath-Making Workshop

Some of our team recently enjoyed a wonderful morning of wreath making at the Sonning Flowers workshop, and it was the perfect way to begin the festive season. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality, fresh coffee and tea, mulled wine, and a generous offering of mince pies set the tone for a relaxed and creative experience.

Sonning Flowers’ expert florists guided us through each step, sharing tips, techniques and plenty of encouragement. The workshop space itself was filled with seasonal greenery, ribbons and fragrant foliage, and it was great fun to see every team member’s wreath take on its own unique personality.

Laughter, conversation and a little friendly competition filled the room as the wreaths began to take shape.  A huge thank you to the wonderful team at Sonning Flowers for hosting us and for making the workshop such a memorable and uplifting experience. For anyone looking to try their hand at floristry this season or next, their workshops offer a fantastic way to learn new skills in a warm, bond as a team in a welcoming setting.
