How to make a dried flower posy, garland and wreath

Join flower farmer and florist Georgie Newbery of Common Farm Flowers as she shows you how to make a dried flower posy, then turn lots of posies into a garland, then turn the garland into a wreath.
It's a miserable day in November, and I don't know about you, but I'm struggling to keep cheerful with the change over to daylight saving. The days seem dark and I need brightening up. So here's a cheerful project to brighten a dull day in this down time between Halloween and Christmas.
I have a bumper crop of beautiful dried flowers so let's make a posy, then a garland, and then a wreath from them. All of these projects are relatively easy, and I'm reliably informed that working with flowers, and making something creative on a dull day is good for our mental health. Let's have a go and see!
We have some festive wreath demos online, which are now available to buy. Click here for details:

You can see our full workshop calendar here www.commonfarm...
If you're booking a place on our workshops or demos the website will ask you to choose a delivery date - any date will do! And if you can't join our sessions live then you are still very welcome to book as we send the recording and notes of the workshop out to everyone afterwards, so you can download the session and refer back to it as and when you need to.
If you enjoy the tips and tricks Georgie gives you here, or would simply like to support the channel, the link to her Buy Me a Coffee page is here: www.buymeacoff...

Your personality is quite charming, and your creativity matches your personality. Love, love, love your work. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank you for sharing your time and creativity.

Thank you so much!! x

I too hate the dark dingy days of Autumn and Winter. This is a great idea to try when I am feeling despondent.

[@theflowerfarmer]

go for it x

[@thecraftyhairdressercardsa205]

I love all your videos and find them so helpful and also enjoyable. The sound was great and even when it is a wee bit harder to hear (like if you’re outside in the wind). I still really enjoy it. It’s so much more real and relatable for me.

[@theflowerfarmer]

ah thank you - yes, sometimes v windy here x

[@charlotte-dp9sz]

That is like a fairies wreath. Utterly divine

[@theflowerfarmer]

[@anneperrault7324]

Thank you Georgie for showing us a pretty example of using the dried grasses in an arrangement 😊

[@theflowerfarmer]

You are so welcome! x

[@helenmccracken929]

You are wonderful georgie! Every video you make is exactly what we need to hear for our garden business inspiration. Your instructions today are precisely what we needed for our work tomorrow please keep it up dearie!

[@theflowerfarmer]

You are so welcome! x

[@BottlegardenUK]

Utterly gorgeous, I’ve never been a fan of dried flowers, too many faded dusty box-framed arrangements. But the last few months I am strangely drawn. To the point I might have them at my reception. Thank you for your honesty, creativity and generosity in sharing.

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thank you! 😊 x

[@dorislong9420]

Georgie, you're such an nspiration. Since finding you I have binge watched your lovely videos. Please know how much you're appreciated by this person from the USA. If I lived in the UK, I would order one of your 'one of each' floral bouquets in the spring. I have ordered one of your books. Have a great weekend.🌻🌺🌼

You never fail us Georgie,. Separately there's not an overwhelmingly amount of colour, but together it's fabulous. Thank you. Januk

[@janhenson293]

Your sea holly variety is Eryngium “blue glitter’. I grew it as well this year and loved it, though my plant didn’t get very large so i have only a few stems dried. Fingers crossed for it to come back bigger and better next year!

[@theflowerfarmer]

Oh thank you! I've always wondered what variety it is. Hopefully it'll clump up nicely for you. I love mine and use it a lot. x

[@dnrvmp8446]

Love your videos and your gloomy day philosophy, beautiful Wreath and poseys, always make me smile!! Oh, and I loved your novel as well!!

[@theflowerfarmer]

Lovely.....this is the sort of thing I want to create next year. Can't wait for my willow patch to grow big enough to make my own wreaths. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@theflowerfarmer]

Wonderful! x

[@gilscot100]

So many tips - thank you. Always had difficulties with my dried flowers breaking now I know to make smaller posies.

[@theflowerfarmer]

Glad it was helpful! x

[@mmladyg]

YES @ 1:00! So difficult at the time change. Good company here and the how for those goodies collected and now dried in my basement. Thank you from a subdued garden heart in the PNW, US.

[@theflowerfarmer]

[@smozzie24]

Hi Georgie, love all your videos and really look forward to them each week, I’ve been on your online wreath workshop, which was fab and bought you coffees too😊. I’m thinking of tackling some kind of foliage and candle/fairy light garlandy thing to suspend over my dining table for Christmas, do you have any ideas on how to do this or at least how not to make it so heavy that it will pull down my newly painted ceiling! Tia 😊

[@theflowerfarmer]

I'll make one for a clip and show you x

[@smozzie24]

Ooh thank you Georgie, that would be amazing 🙏🏻

[@Plant_Pantry_NZ]

Lovely video Georgie. Sea Holly could be Blue Glitter (as another viewer suggested) or Blue Hobbit. 🌸

[@theflowerfarmer]

thank you - I think it's blue glitter x

[@kimcarlsen4391]

It looks like Blue Glitter NY USA

[@theflowerfarmer]

I think it is - thank you x

[@King_of_carrot_flowers]

The sea holly is either Eryngium planum or Eryngium x tripartitum

[@theflowerfarmer]

thank you x

[@graces128]

Could it be glitter erygium / sea holly?

[@theflowerfarmer]

it's definitely a sea holly - I think might well be blue glitter x
