Are you mad about lavender? Come join us for a workshop about the healing and restorative properties of lavender. We will discuss ways to work with lavender for reducing pain, promoting sleep, decreasing anxiety and tension, wound healing and so much more. This workshop includes a lavender field tour and harvesting with Mad Lavender’s very own lavender farmer, Adrienne. You will also make your own lavender salve. 

The lavender will be in first bloom and everyone will have an opportunity to pick fresh lavender to take home.

Wreath Workshop

At the height of bloom of our French lavender, join Nicole of Spadaflora Botanical Artistry to make a wreath from freshly harvested Phenomenal long-stemmed lavender. The bloom time of this lavender is within 2 weeks, and this is a very special opportunity that only comes once a year.

As a part of our workshop, you will pick some lavender right out of the field. It takes a LOT of lavender to create this, and so the lion’s share of it will be fresh cut and ready for you to fashion into your wreath. There is nothing like the color and scent of fresh lavender and it will dry beautifully, lasting well into the next year. Nicole will guide you to adhere it properly and distribute it nicely around your 14inch wreath support.

Lavender lemonade and lavender shortbread cookies will be served to nibble and sip.

Be sure to take the time to enjoy a stroll around the farm. It is the most beautiful time of year!

This workshop is limited to 8 attendees. In the event of rain, the workshop will be held in our Workshop Space.

Slow down. Breathe. Stitch.

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore slow stitching a meditative, intuitive form of hand sewing that invites us to pause, be present, and create with intention. Guided by the quiet wisdom of generations before us, this practice values process over perfection and presence over product.

Together, we’ll reflect on the question: What do you carry?
What do you hold close? What do you protect?
What are you ready to release?

Using treasured fabrics, threads, and found materials, we’ll explore stitching as a form of meditation, storytelling, and self-discovery. Each stitch becomes a prayer, a rhythm, a way to ground ourselves in the present moment.

• Through guided exercises, you’ll experience:
  Translating memory, emotion, and nature’s whispers
  The quiet power of mending,both cloth and self.

This workshop is not about technique or perfection. It’s about trusting your hands, honoring the process, and embracing the beauty in imperfection.
