Let's create a beautiful pastel living succulent wreath with homegrown succulent.
Sip wine and design with your friends or come solo.
I'll teach you all about these wonderful plants and how easy they are to care for. We will have many choices on how to customize and create this unique and unusual wreath that will last for many seasons.
***LOCATED AT THE CW TASTING ROOM IN MERCHANT SQUARE NOT THE MAIN WINERY***
Succulent Living Wreath Workshop
Create a living wreath rooted in nature and designed to grow with you.
In this hands-on succulent wreath workshop, participants will design a lush, living wreath using homegrown succulents, preserved moss, and natural botanical elements.
Guided by Melissa Tebbenhoff of Rusted Rabbitt Living Designs, you’ll learn both the horticultural foundations and artistic principles behind creating balanced, long-lasting living art.
As a succulent grower and living design artist, Melissa weaves plant care education into the creative process—teaching you how succulents grow, how they interact with their environment, and how to care for your wreath as it continues to evolve over time.
Each wreath is built on a natural grapevine base and assembled using a special plant-friendly adhesive, allowing the succulents to root gently while remaining removable for future replanting. Kits also include a curated selection of homegrown dried florals, adding seasonal texture and a soft botanical rhythm to each piece.
This workshop is welcoming to all skill levels and encourages a slow, thoughtful approach to making—blending education, creativity, and connection to the natural world.
Workshop Includes:
– Living wreath base
– Assortment of homegrown succulents
– Preserved moss
– Plant-safe adhesive
– Homegrown dried florals and botanical accents
– Care instructions and ongoing guidance
After the season has passed, your wreath can live on—participants will learn how to transition their succulents into a four-season planter or future living design.
No refunds or transfers are available.
