Dried flower wreath-making workshop
On the last Sunday in October, our final workshop of the year took place in the warmth of the polytunnel. The workshop was led by Eileen, who first demonstrated various techniques and options, before the attendees chose from the wide variety of dried plant material available.
This year’s hot, dry summer provided the perfect opportunity to gather and store a fantastic range of flowers and foliage for the workshop.
Our participants were very creative and all succeeded in producing beautiful wreaths in the space of about 2 hours. Here they are in the process…
And below are the fantastic creations they finished up with!
Very many thanks to Eileen for running the workshop, to Lea and Gill for their help, and to all the participants for their hard work and enthusiasm!
Eco Fair 2025 a great success!
We were delighted to welcome nearly 400 visitors to our annual Eco Fair on 24th August, a wonderful opportunity to socialise and find out more about the Worcester Community Garden on a glorious sunny late summer day.
Alongside site tours and plant and produce sales, there were stalls run by our parent organisation Transition Worcester, the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust, RSPB and more. Great food and drink was also on offer and everyone enjoyed the fresh air and relaxed atmosphere.
Huge thanks go to all our stall holders and volunteers for their help and support on the day and in the planning for the event.

Another successful workshop – Make your own posy!
We had an enthusiastic group of attendees on 20 August for our latest ‘Field to vase – make your own posy’ workshop.
Despite the long, dry spring and summer, there were sufficient flowers still in our cut flower beds, and these were supplemented with greenery and hedgerow plants.
Thank you to volunteer Eileen for running the workshop, and to Gill and Bob for helping.
If this leaves you feeling inspired, why not check out our future events – ‘Create an Autumnal dried flower wreath’ on October 26th (tickets on sale from August 26th) and ‘Christmas wreath making’ on November 23rd (tickets on sale from September 23rd).
