Not all wreaths belong on a wall…Introducing my Roof Wreath Workshop.

Instead of hanging on a wall, this piece floats gently from above, creating a beautiful statement for your home. You’ll choose from a gorgeous selection of dried flowers and grasses and create something that’s uniquely yours.

No experience needed. Just come, create, and enjoy a few peaceful hours with your hands in the petals.

If you’d love to join me, send me a message for upcoming dates.

It was something I hadn’t really thought about until this week.

A dad walked into The Dried Petal Shed with his six-year-old daughter.....they spent time choosing flowers, creating together, chatting and laughing.

When they left, they were just so so proud of what they had made.

The best part?

She’s still talking about it. And now they’re coming back to celebrate her birthday here.

It made me realise that The Dried Petal Shed isn’t just for workshops.

It’s a place for dads and daughters.
For mums and sons.
For grandparents and grandchildren.
For friends.
For anyone wanting to slow down, create something beautiful, and make a memory together.

Sometimes the most meaningful gifts aren’t bought.

They’re made, side by side 🌸🌸🌸

Petal Parties are available for birthdays and special celebrations.

Celebrate your childs birthday with something different. Each child creates a hand tied posy or there is the option for them to decorate a mini wreath.

The kiddos love creating with flowers, the boys love it too! They feel so proud of their creations 🌸🌸🌸

I bring everything and do the creating with them.

Where would you hang this? This piece is available for only $75

If you can picture this hanging in your home let me know and I will get it to you. I’ve decided it’s time to start sharing some of my finished pieces with you.

Many of the creations you see in my videos are available to purchase, and from now on I’ll be posting them here as they’re completed.

Each one is handmade, one of a kind, and created slowly using dried flowers chosen for their texture, colour and character.

If something catches your eye, just send me a message before it’s gone.
