Winchester Flower Club and Winchester Hospice will host their next wreath making workshop next month.
After the success of their first workshop back in March, the two organisations are inviting people to take part in their upcoming session which will take place on Saturday October 14.
Guided by the Winchester Flower Club, formerly known as the Winchester Floral Design Society, those participating will be able to make their own autumnal wreath and learn the tips and tricks of floral design with free tea and cake.
The workshop will be held at Brethren’s Hall in the grounds of the Hospital of St Cross from 10.30am - 1pm.

Maddy Thomson, consultant nurse and clinical lead for end of life care, said: “We are delighted to be bringing this wonderful event back to help support the vital services we provide here for those within our hospice as well as those in our community.
“We wouldn’t be where we are today without the generosity of local organisations like the Winchester Flower Club so we are incredibly grateful to have their support.”
Rosalind Hall, chairman of the Winchester Flower Club, said: “Our first workshop in the spring was a complete sell out and it was such a fantastic morning, we just knew we must do it again.
“The workshop will provide a great opportunity for floral creativity and we can’t wait to share our passion for such an important cause.”
Places to the session can be bought for £35 by visiting: winchesterhospice.com/events.
