What’s Happening This Autumn & Winter?
We’ve curated the upcoming season to celebrate the transition from the abundance of summer into the slower, richer months of autumn and winter.
🌱 September | Seed Saving 101
Saturday, September 26 | 1:00 PM
Before we completely say goodbye to the garden, let’s save a little piece of it for next year.
Our Seed Saving 101 mini workshop is all about the simple art of collecting, drying, labelling and storing seeds so you can grow them again next season.
We’ll talk about what seeds are worth saving, how to keep varieties clean and the best conditions for storing them.
Then we’ll get our hands busy with a fun take-home project: your very own seed bomb to plant right away.
It’s a wonderful workshop for gardeners, curious beginners and anyone who loves the idea of carrying a little bit of this year’s garden into the next.
🎃 October | Mini Pumpkin with Succulents & Dried Flowers
Saturday, October 3 | 1:00 PM
October is all about harvest, colour and cozy autumn gatherings.
Our Mini Pumpkin Workshop takes one of the season’s most recognizable symbols and turns it into a tiny botanical masterpiece.
You’ll learn how to create an adorable mini pumpkin arrangement using succulents and dried flowers—a project that can become a beautiful seasonal decoration or a thoughtful hostess gift.
Best of all, you’ll learn the techniques you can use to make these little beauties again and again.
Imagine arriving at Thanksgiving dinner with a handmade botanical pumpkin instead of another bottle of wine. 😉
🍂 November | Botanical Casting
Saturday, November 7 | 1:00 PM
As the garden winds down, we’re finding another way to preserve its beauty.
In our Botanical Casting Workshop, you’ll learn how to create a personal three-dimensional botanical artwork using clay, locally harvested botanical elements and plaster.
You’ll press and arrange natural materials to create an 8″ x 8″ plaster cast that captures the shapes and textures of the season.
It’s part art project, part botanical preservation—and completely unique to you.
And because the finished piece makes such a beautiful keepsake, it would also make a very special handmade holiday gift.
🌿 December | Mini Holiday Wreath
Saturday, December 5 | 1:00 PM
It’s time to bring a little Foxgloves magic to your holiday decorating.
Our Mini Holiday Wreath Workshop will have you creating a beautiful botanical wreath to take home and enjoy throughout the season.
Hang it on your front door, add it to a kitchen cabinet, use it as a small table centrepiece with a candle in the middle—or even turn it into a beautiful living bow for a gift.
You’ll leave with your finished wreath and the skills to create more of your own.
Because we think handmade holiday decorating is just a little more special.
🌲 January | Moss Wall Hanging
Saturday, January 16 | 1:00 PM
When winter arrives and the garden outside is sleeping, we’re bringing the forest floor indoors.
Our Moss Wall Hanging Workshop is an invitation to slow down and play with texture.
You’ll learn how to “paint” with different varieties of living and dried moss, layering colour, texture and natural elements to create a lush framed piece of vertical botanical art.
The result is a beautiful piece of nature-inspired artwork for your home—and a new appreciation for just how many shades, shapes and textures can be found in moss.
It’s the perfect winter afternoon project.
🌿 February | Kokedama
Saturday, February 6 | 1:00 PM
We’re finishing our Autumn & Winter series with one of our Foxgloves favourites: Kokedama.
This Japanese-inspired plant art form involves wrapping plant roots in specialized soil and moss before binding them with twine to create a sculptural living garden.
Yes, you’ll get your hands messy.
And yes, that’s part of the fun.
You’ll leave with your own living Kokedama creation—a beautiful little floating garden and a conversation piece for your home.
It’s an especially lovely way to welcome a little green back into your life during the depths of winter.
One Hour. One Project. Something Beautiful to Take Home.
Every Foxgloves Mini Workshop includes all of your materials, tools and botanical treasures, so you don’t need to arrive with anything except yourself.
When: One Saturday each month
Time: 1:00–2:00 PM
Where: Foxgloves Studio, 2825 Heath Drive, Victoria, BC
Cost: $50 per person
Experience: None required!
Each workshop is intentionally small, approachable and hands-on.
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener, a lifelong maker or someone who proudly admits they “can’t keep a cactus alive,” you are welcome here.
We’ll guide you through the process, share our floral and botanical knowledge, and give you plenty of room to make the project your own.
Come Make Something With Us
There is something wonderfully grounding about making things with your hands.
In a world that moves quickly, botanical work asks us to slow down. To notice texture. To appreciate imperfection. To work with what the season gives us.
That’s really what these workshops are about.
Not creating something perfect. Creating something yours.
Come for the moss. Stay for the community. Leave with something beautiful.
And perhaps you’ll discover that your favourite part isn’t even what you made—it’s the hour you gave yourself to make it.
Make it a monthly ritual.
Book one workshop or collect the whole season. Bring your best friend, your mom, your sister, your partner—or simply come on your own and meet some other botanical-loving humans.
And remember: these make wonderful experience gifts, too. Instead of giving someone another thing to put on a shelf, give them an afternoon of creativity, connection and something beautiful they made with their own hands.
We can’t wait to create with you at Foxgloves Flowers this autumn and winter. 🌿
