At Lavender Hill Farm, just outside Boyne City, Michigan, the crisp sweetness of fall arrives with a hands-on wreath workshop that turns seasonal greenery into something personal and permanent. On October 23, Lavender Hill Farm hosts an afternoon workshop where local floral artist Sydney guides participants ages 12 and up through composition, layering, and balance to build their own fall wreaths. The class gathers inside the white Farmhouse, a room on the farm where guests check in, browse the Farmhouse Boutique, and can grab flights or bites from The Copper Room before they start.
The experience centers on tactile, approachable instruction: Sydney lays out a curated assortment of seasonal greenery and decorative accents and walks you step-by-step through building a wreath frame, arranging focal clusters, and finishing with ribbon and accents. All materials and design tools are provided, and attendees are encouraged to bring a personal keepsake or ribbon to incorporate into their piece. Workshops typically run approximately two hours and are intentionally relaxed—a hands-on afternoon ideal for friends, creatives, or solo visitors.
Lavender Hill Farm’s buildings and grounds give the workshop a farmstead flavor. Check-in and the workshop take place in the accessible Farmhouse; parking is organized in the Drying Shed Parking Area, and the Barn and farm spaces nearby add to the rural backdrop. The Copper Room on site offers optional drinks and light bites, which makes the event a social outing as much as a craft session.
This event doubles as a learning opportunity: beyond finishing a wreath, participants take home core floral-design techniques they can apply to future projects—composition, balance, and the art of layering textures. The small-group format and Sydney’s background in weddings and events mean you get professional tips without feeling intimidated.
Practical notes: tickets cost $65 and must be purchased in advance; registration closes 48 hours before the workshop or when sold out. Guests under 18 must have their own ticket and be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult. If the farm cancels the event, registered guests will be refunded; for workshop-specific questions contact Sydney at 231-330-7979 or [email protected]. For visitors staying in Boyne City, the workshop makes a relaxed, creative afternoon that complements hiking, lake time, and local dining—an easy way to add a handcrafted memory to a northern Michigan autumn visit.
