Participants learn to create a beautiful spring wreath using high-quality Sola wood flowers. The workshop includes instruction on stemming the flowers and arranging them on either a natural grapevine wreath or a contemporary wood-bead wreath frame.
Guidance is provided on floral preparation, design principles, and secure attachment techniques to ensure a balanced and long-lasting arrangement. Sola wood flowers are durable and retain their appearance indefinitely when kept dry, making them an ideal option for seasonal décor.

Rustic-chic private farm venue in scenic Stonington, CT 

Deans Mill Farm 

Built in the mid-1700s as a functioning livestock farm, Deans Mill Farm has gone through an evolution in recent decades. A full renovation of the historic buildings and rejuvenation of the surrounding 70+ acres has made the property into the incredible venue it is today. Deans Mill Farm now operates primarily as a private event space and five-room bed and breakfast tucked down a private road in Stonington, Connecticut. It shares its property with Dragonfly Equestrian Center and is home to dozens of horses. On the property lies meadows, hiking trails, beautiful fields and Dragonfly Disc Golf. The property can be rented for weddings, birthday parties and other special events. Additionally, the bed and breakfast can be rented by the room or reserved in its entirety for complete privacy. The Farm has the ability to host small private indoor events for up to 50 guests in the Farmhouse. Outdoor tented events are our specialty, with numerous locations on-site that are picturesque for your celebration. Outdoor tented celebrations can accommodate up to 250 guests.
