Wildcrafting Workshop: Spring Wreaths & Botanical Bouquets

Join Colorado forager and creative educator Constance Wilde (Rachel) for an immersive seasonal workshop exploring botanical crafts, wild plants, herbal traditions, and sustainable creative practices inspired by the Rocky Mountains.

These workshops are designed to reconnect participants with the natural world through guided outdoor exploration, hands-on crafting, seasonal observation, and traditional creative techniques. Each workshop combines foraging, plant identification, shared meals, and hands-on project work in a relaxed and community-oriented environment welcoming both beginners and experienced participants.

This spring workshop focuses on hand-tied botanical bouquets, seasonal wreaths, medicinal tea bundles, and decorative arrangements using locally foraged plants, flowers, grasses, and natural materials gathered during a guided morning walk.

• 10:00 AM – Arrival, tea, and introductions
• 10:30 AM – Guided foraging walk and plant identification
• 12:00 PM – Sorting and processing gathered materials
• 1:00 PM – Shared seasonal lunch
• 2:00 PM – Wreath and herbal bouquet construction
• 2:30 PM – Discussion of drying and preservation techniques
• 3:00 PM – Wrap up and take-home materials

Most workshops begin with introductions, tea, and an overview of the day before transitioning into a guided outdoor walk focused on foraging, seasonal observation, plant identification, harvesting techniques, and local ecology. After the outdoor portion, participants return for a shared seasonal lunch followed by afternoon crafting and hands-on project work.

All classes include an outdoor walk of approximately 1 mile and may involve uneven terrain, mountain trails, moderate hiking, or off-trail conditions depending on the season and workshop type.
