FOR GARDEN COLLECTIVE MEMBERS
BECOME A MEMBER FOR £1

For members of the Garden Collective only. If you are not already a member, you can join for £1 here.

Join Grace for an evening in her beautiful cottage for some Christmas loveliness in her live wreathing workshop. Together we will look at how we blur the boundaries of the indoors and the outdoors in the festive season.

By the end of the class, you’ll have everything you need to know to create the most incredible wreath for an indoor wall or the front door.

Practical tips. Lyrical magic.

What to bring along*:

  •  A copper wreath frame

  • Hay or moss for wadding

  • Reel wire or twine

  • Secateurs

  • Foliage, or dried flowers & grasses

  • Ribbon

*lots of people are happy to watch along without wreathing at the same time. Absolutely everyone is welcome, but if you would like to enjoy as a spectator, then bring:

  • Mulled wine (or cider for those of us in the West Country)

  • Tea and a mince pie

  • Coffee and a chocolate orange

WHAT IS THE GARDEN COLLECTIVE?

WHAT AM I JOINING?

Garden Collective is a daily collection of writing and audio by the most thoughtful garden writers working today.

WHAT DO I GET?

Members receive essays, seasonal notes, reflections and stories, all read aloud by the authors themselves.

A rich, intimate way to experience the rhythms of the gardening year.

HOW MUCH IS IT?

It is just £1 for the first month, and then it is 40% off for the first year (this works out at just £4 a month). If you subscribed to all of the incredible writers in the Garden Collective on Substack, it would cost you £100…

HOW DO I KNOW IF IT IS FOR ME?

This is more than advice or instruction. It’s a carefully gathered community of writers and readers who grow, observe, and write with care. Each piece is rooted in lived experience, lyrical, practical, or wise, and together they offer a quiet, daily companion for those who long to move more slowly through the seasons.

Whether you’re planting sweet peas, harvesting stories, or simply seeking inspiration in the turning of the year, the Garden Collective welcomes you in. Read slowly. Listen deeply. Find yourself among kindred spirits.

CAN I JUST FOLLOW GRACE ALEXANDER ON THE GARDEN COLLECTIVE?

You can curate and control the emails and notifications you get, who you get them from and how often. If you just want my exclusive content, then that’s absolutely fine.
