Mother's Day Living Wreath Workshop
Give Mom an unforgettable gift: an afternoon on the farm + a wreath made of gorgeous live plants she’ll enjoy for years!
Living wreaths are gardens you can hang on your wall or door! We’ll be making wreaths with succulent plants, which will be both beautiful and hardy when established.
Bring Mom for a hands-on living wreath workshop, as well as a walking tour of our 47 acre sustainable farm (including visiting with goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, and more!). As we walk we’ll observe ways that native flora and fauna interact with agriculture to create balanced ecosystems.
YOU’LL MAKE: A 12” living wreath with an assortment of baby succulent plants.
In addition to a fun, relaxing afternoon on the farm, participants will receive:
Reusable living wreath frame + plants + planting materials
Over-door wreath hook
Care instructions
A fun, casual family photo
Light refreshments (locally sourced when possible!)
LIVING WREATH WORKSHOP: May 9, 10 am -12 pm
TICKETS: $90
Up to two adults and up to four kids will collaborate on making the ultimate live wreath for a special Mom.
DETAILS
Workshops will take place outside and/or in our barn, depending on the weather. Participants should dress warmly with sturdy footwear appropriate for farm and muddy conditions. The tour will cover approximately 1 mile of walking.
Workshop size is limited to 10 families.
Refunds: because supplies must be bought in advance, no refunds will be issued. Tickets can however be transferred to someone else (and make wonderful gifts!). If I have a waiting list for a class, I’m happy to help arrange a transfer. In the event of extreme weather, workshops will be rescheduled. In the event that the new date does not work for you, you will have the option of attending another workshop of your choosing even if it is already sold out..
PRIVATE GROUPS
Slow Farm workshops make for memorable family events, corporate team building exercises, birthday gatherings, and even special bridal or baby showers. Please email us to schedule a time for your family, coworkers, or friends to come out to the farm!
INSTRUCTOR
This workshop will be led by Rachel Herrick, a third generation farmer and co-owner of Slow Farm. In addition to her passion and experience as a regenerative farmer, Rachel also has a Master’s in Fine Art and has taught art at UNC Chapel Hill, Maine College of Art, Town of Cary, and been a guest lecturer at University of Alberta, Eastern Carolina University, and Meredith College. She is also a professional artist with a full resume of exhibitions in the US, Canada, and Europe.
When you attend a Slow Farm workshop, you’re supporting our efforts to restore this 47 acre former tobacco farm using historic and holistic farming methods that mimic nature. No chemicals, no shortcuts.
Why do we do this? Because working with nature produces generational fertility and a brighter, more abundant future. Sure it’s is a slow process, but in the long run regenerative farming creates resilient food systems that can feed communities AND contribute to the health of the planet.
It’s a labor of love and hope. We’re so happy you’re a part of it.
