Learn how to make a festive Christmas wreath in this fun and relaxing floristry class in Christmas in Australia looks different. It smells like gum leaves and pine, it feels like summer heat and native blooms — and it's nothing like a Northern Hemisphere December.
At Merchant & Green, we've designed a Christmas wreath workshop that celebrates exactly that. Working with fresh Australian native flowers and foliage alongside traditional Christmas botanicals — pine, cinnamon twirls, dried oranges and gum leaves — you'll create a wreath that is genuinely beautiful, entirely natural, and uniquely Australian.
No plastic. No synthetic materials. Everything you work with is sustainable, biodegradable and sourced from professional suppliers.
In this 90-minute workshop, expert florist Chris Saban and his team will guide you through the fundamentals of wreath construction — weaving, wirework and botanical styling — so you leave with something you're genuinely proud to hang on your door.
What you'll learn
  • Wreath construction fundamentals — weaving and simple wirework
  • How to work with fresh botanicals alongside dried and preserved elements
  • Styling principles for a balanced, beautiful wreath
  • How to care for your wreath to maximise its longevity
The setting
Merchant & Green is a working florist and plant studio — not a craft classroom. You'll work inside our light-filled Redfern studio, surrounded by premium plants and fresh flowers, guided by florists who work with Australian botanicals every day.
It's the difference between a generic Christmas craft class and a genuinely premium botanical experience.
