Thank you to Chris & the friendly & knowledgeable team for a wonderful creative morning in the beautiful M&G studio. Lots of guidance & floristry tips on how to create our wreaths plus a beautiful array of floral goodies & greenery to suit whichever style of wreath we chose to make. Our teachers made sure that individual needs & styles were catered for. Great value & lots of fun in a lovely relaxed environment. Everyone made a beautiful Christmas wreath & a great time was had by all. Thanks so much Chris for another lovely workshop. Will definitely be back for more.
• 5/5 from Laine Fullerton, attended Dec 2021: This was such a fun class to do with my mum and sister! Chris and the team at Merchant & Green are so friendly and provide you with so many different botanicals and foliage to create your wreath. You’re free to work away and make whatever you wish but they’re also willing to help at any stage. It was so nice to see everyone create something entirely unique with the same set of materials!
• 5/5 from Christine Toohey, attended Dec 2021: Wow, what a thoroughly enjoyable class. The team at Merchant & Green @ 674 Bourke St, Redfern were incredible, supportive, and encouraging. The workshop space was beautiful, full of natural light, the abundance of greenery and dried flowers provided suited a multitude of tastes you could tell it was thoughtfully selected by Chris and his team. I would highly recommend this class for anyone willing to give it a go and have a lot of fun. Considering a plastic wreath in the shops will put you back over $100 there is little more gratifying than making your own decoration. The materials supplied are top-notch and everyone in the class produced unique stunning wreaths that matched their personality and home décor. 10/10

• 4/5 from Laura Hagan, attended Dec 2020: Class and teacher was fabulous. Only thing I could suggest is a more open access to materials. Some people were disappointed that they couldn’t make a wreath that truly represented their style and space because they were limited to the wreath put in front of them. Luckily we had a really nice bunch of people with us at the workshop and everyone was happy to share what they didn’t need. But on a whole everything else was fabulous and it was a really enjoyable evening.
