Debbie's expertise and creativity make these workshops a real treat for anyone keen to learn something new. Each session is a standalone experience, perfect for a day out with friends or a chance to try your hand at a new craft.

Each workshop will teach you something new about floral design. Across the festive season you can join:

• Saturday 28 November – design a traditional Christmas wreath on a fully mossed frame with a choice of decorative elements. Duration up to 3 hours.

• Saturday 12 December – try an introduction into flower arranging by creating a Christmas door swag. Duration 1 to 2 hours.

With only 10 places per workshop, you’ll get plenty of hands on guidance in a relaxed, friendly setting. Each workshop lasts up to 2 hours, with wreath workshops lasting up to 3 hours. Your ticket includes a drink, a baked treat and entry to Gibside, making it the perfect creative day out surrounded by nature.
