Usher in the Holiday season by creating a bespoke fresh wreath with designer Elisa Bulgrin of Longfield Farm.
Come enjoy this holiday wreath-making workshop with friends in the Carriage Barn’s festive and creative setting.
Use an array of unusual Connecticut grown foliage and florals from Longfield Farm to make a nature-inspired abundant wreath of fragrant evergreens accented with natural trimmings, dried and preserved elements. Traditional or unexpected, prim or wild and whimsical – have fun creating something that reflects your holiday style! Each wreath will be completely unique as everyone interprets the materials differently.
All materials provided and attendees will take home a gorgeous wreath to enjoy for the holiday season. Register below, space is limited.

Please bring gardening gloves and garden snips/shears if you have them.
Named for its bucolic long field, Longfield is a small farm nestled into a classic Connecticut landscape of rolling hills, valleys and woodlands. It sets an idyllic backdrop for growing in LF’s kitchen, cutting and ornamental gardens; for raising chickens, tapping maple trees and foraging in the woods; for, we like to think, bringing this suburban pocket of New Canaan back to some semblance of its past rural self. Shaping, cultivating and tending Longfield has in turn shaped us as gardeners, growers, ‘farmers’.
As stewards of the land, we’ve learned to grow with nature, embracing the simplicity of sustainable horticultural practices, such as ‘no dig’, learning and adapting along the way. It is our great pleasure to share this special place and its bounty with you, with offerings that reflect this approach and all the passions and sensibilities that colour life at Longfield.
