Wreath Making in the Woods: Why Nature Crafts Are Good for Grown-Ups Too
Amid the hustle of everyday life, it’s easy to forget that grown-ups need time in nature too. That’s why we’re inviting you to step into the woods this season for something truly special: our adults-only Wreath Making Workshops where creativity, calm and the scent of pine fill the forest air.
It’s more than just crafting a beautiful wreath, it’s about reconnecting with the outdoors, switching off from screens, and giving yourself the gift of presence.
Why Nature-Based Crafting Is So Good for You
Spending time outdoors and working with natural materials offers a host of wellbeing benefits for adults:
It reduces stress
Being in nature lowers cortisol levels and promotes a sense of calm. Add in the gentle rhythm of working with your hands, and it’s the perfect recipe for relaxation.
It boosts creativity
Gathering materials from the forest, moss, ivy, holly, berries and turning them into something beautiful unlocks your creative side. No pressure, no perfection just joyful making.
It brings people together
Our wreath making sessions are friendly, informal, and inclusive. Whether you come with a friend or join solo, you’ll leave with new connections and warm memories.
It’s a mindful escape
In the woods, time slows down. You’re invited to be present: noticing textures, choosing colours, shaping your design. It’s a break from busy and a return to balance.
What to Expect at Our Wreath Making Workshops
- A peaceful woodland setting, just outside Exeter
- Expert guidance from our lovely team
- Natural materials foraged from the forest
- Campfire refreshments (yes, there’s tea and mince pies!)
- A beautiful, handcrafted wreath to take home and enjoy
No experience needed, just bring yourself, your wellies, and a little festive spirit.
Why We Host These Events
At A Touch of the Wild, we believe nature is for everyone, not just children. Our adult sessions are designed to give grown-ups a chance to unwind, create, and reconnect with the woodland in a meaningful way.
It’s not about productivity or performance. It’s about taking time for yourself, in a space that nourishes body and mind.
And let’s be honest, there’s something magical about making a wreath in the very woods where the materials were gathered.
