Lavender Eucalyptus Wreath Workshop at Lavender Hill Farm, Boyne City | Workshop | Walking Tour

At Lavender Hill Farm in Boyne City, Michigan, the Lavender Eucalyptus Wreath Workshop invites visitors to trade screens for the tactile rhythm of hands and herbs. Housed in a century-old barn on a working farm, the workshop runs approximately two hours and is taught by local floral artist Sydney of Boyne City. Guests gather at the Ambassador Stand between the red barn and white farmhouse, then settle into a relaxed, step‑by‑step lesson where all materials are included and every participant leaves with an 18-inch handcrafted wreath. If blooms permit, the session begins with a short walk into the lavender fields to harvest fresh sprigs; when weather or season prevents cutting, thoughtfully prepared dried lavender is provided. That choice—fresh or dried—makes each wreath an authentic seasonal object tied to the farm’s growing cycle. Eucalyptus provides structural contrast and a long-lasting fragrance that complements the floral notes of lavender, creating a design that will scent a room for weeks. This experience is accessible to makers of all skill levels. Sydney guides guests through base selection, wiring techniques, bundle attachment, and finishing touches while sharing practical floral-design tips you can reuse for other projects. The small-group format keeps the pace personal: instructors offer hands-on corrections and creative options so attendees can learn fundamental techniques without pressure. Beyond instruction, the workshop is an appealing way to spend time outdoors without committing to a full hike or tour. Lavender Hill Farm’s red barn and surrounding fields offer an agricultural backdrop that highlights local cultivation practices and simple seasonal rituals. The Farmhouse Boutique and nearby Drying Shed Parking Area make pre- and post-class exploring convenient; guests are encouraged to arrive 10–15 minutes early to check in and browse. Booking details are straightforward: pre-registration is required, closes 48 hours before the event, and classes are limited in size. The price is $70 per person for ages 12 and up; all sales are final unless Lavender Hill Farm cancels, in which case refunds are issued. For workshop-specific questions contact Sydney at 231 - 330 - 7979; general event questions can be directed to [email protected]. Whether you want to build a seasonal centerpiece, share a quiet creative morning with friends, or learn basic wreath-making techniques tied directly to farm-grown materials, this workshop combines practical instruction, fragrant natural materials, and the approachable charm of Boyne City’s agricultural landscape into a single, memorable outing. Workshops are ideal as a date, small celebration, or slow practice in seasonal craft; children twelve and older may attend with a ticketed adult. While the Barn, Farmhouse, and restrooms are ADA compliant, the farm grounds are not—please contact Lavender Hill Farm in advance if your group needs additional assistance to make the visit comfortable and easy.
