Workshop Details
Workshop Overview
On the farm, planning the festive table for Christmas dinner includes the table arrangement. We enjoy selecting suitable evergreen foliage from the hedgerows and unusual containers to create a table centrepiece. We always include a candle which we light to remember those who can’t be with us.
