Christmas is Coming at Woodside

November 27, 2023 / Emma Emmerson

Christmas wreath making is well under way here at Woodside, the Christmas trees are coming in this week and we are now taking orders for groceries from the shop for the festive season.

Christmas Wreath making

We are busy making Christmas wreaths for all our customers that have pre-ordered and we will be making extras for sale in the plant centre. All our wreaths are by hand and machine using fresh branches of fir and holly, all on a metal base. They are either  tastefully decorated or left plain for you to decorate yourself if you wish.

Our small wreaths are usually used at the cemetery and are either decorated with natural pine cones or artificial white Christmas roses and are £18 each.

Our large wreaths all have a bow in a variety of colours and designs, and can either be decorated with pine cones for a natural look, or with decorations known as “picks”. The large wreaths with cones are £25 each and with picks are £28 each.

If you’re looking for something even bigger and brighter we also make some XL wreaths, and decorate them with a bow and picks – this deluxe version is £40.

We try to have plenty of wreaths available to buy in the plants centre, but sometimes we just can’t make them fast enough, so if you’d like to order one please give us a call on 01835 830315.

Wreath-making workshops

If you fancy making a wreath yourself, we still have spaces on our wreath making workshops the week after next. We have 4 sessions available:

  • 12th December 10am – 12.30pm
  • 12th December 1.30pm – 4pm
  • 13th December 10am – 12.30pm
  • 13th December 1.30pm – 4pm.

Each workshop costs £35 per person including all the materials needed to hand make and decorate a wreath, plus a cup of tea or coffee and a mince pie. All you need to bring is a pair of secateurs and gloves. I would also recommend wearing warm comfy clothes.

If you’d like to attend please book your place on 01835 830315. You can also buy a place on this workshop as a Christmas gift – just let us know when booking.

Christmas Groceries

We are now taking bookings for Christmas groceries from our shop, including frozen meals, fruit and vegetables, luxury goods, gluten free products, frozen whole pheasants, frozen local venison and homemade bread. You can see our list by clicking HERE, and we have plenty more that isn’t listed too.  Don’t forget we are open every day 10am – 4pm right up to and including Christmas Eve, so do come in and take a look.

Nordmann Christmas Trees

Our cut Nordmann Christmas trees are arriving this week, ready for those of you that want to get your tree up on the 1st December. Our trees are all the non-needle drop variety, and will look good for ages – even when it’s time to get them down in January.  We also have Christmas tree stands, lights and decorations, so hopefully everything you need to get your home all Christmassy.

As usual, for all enquiries, bookings and orders as well as tearoom reservations, please phone us on 01835 830315. As we are very busy we don’t always have the time to check emails or social media, so please pick up the phone and give us a call.
