FORAGED WREATH WORKSHOP
Gabel & Spaten x Wonderveld Apothecary
FORAGED WREATH WORKSHOP
Begin your slow approach to Christmas with a mindful gathering rooted in the earth’s quiet abundance. Guided by Meike, a botanical artist devoted to minimal waste and reverence for nature, you’ll learn to weave a lasting wreath from dried flowers, pods, branches, grasses, and berries—free from tape or floral foam.
Together, explore responsible foraging and crafting, drawing from the hidden treasures within your own neighbourhood. You’ll create a delicate, biodegradable design—ready to grace your home with simple, seasonal beauty.
All materials are lovingly provided: fresh foliage, dried fruits, pods, branches, farm-foraged and garden-gathered in and around Windhoek and more—honouring the earth’s generosity in every touch.

Why Forage?
To forage is to slow down and listen deeply to the earth’s whispers. Namibia’s summer gifts us with a tapestry of textures—from flowering stems to seed pods—waiting to be gathered with care. This ritual invites a gentle presence, celebrating the beauty often passed by, while crafting with intention and kindness to the planet.
Breathe in the fragrant eucalyptus, experience the softness of dried grasses, and feel the tactile splendour of seeds and pods in your hands. Let this wreath be more than decoration—a circle of gratitude, a celebration of nature’s quiet wisdom.
Step softly into the season. Let your home glow with wonder.
Reserve your space and welcome the earth’s gifts into your hands and heart.
