A garden centre in Shepton Mallet is offering a new way to mark Mother’s Day with a hands-on experience.
Dobbies is inviting families to take part in its planted wreath workshop, running from Friday, March 13, to Sunday, March 15, and an afternoon tea, available from Friday, March 15, to Monday, March 16.
The activities are designed for all mother figures, including mums, grandmothers, sisters, or anyone who deserves a thoughtful treat.
Ayesha Nickson, events programme manager at Dobbies, said: "Mother’s Day is a special day for many of our customers, and we love being part of the celebration.
"Our two Mother’s Day experiences at the Shepton Mallet store are the perfect way to spend quality time together.
"The Mother’s Day planted wreath workshop is a brand-new event for this year and, with the option to add on an afternoon tea, this is a great way to show the mother figure in your life just how much you care."
Guests can also book the Mother’s Day afternoon tea separately or combine it with the planted wreath workshop.
Tickets for the workshop are £37.50 per person, with the afternoon tea add-on available for £22.50.
Afternoon tea bookings alone start at £25, and all events can be booked at dobbies.com/events.
The workshop is a hands-on session where guests can create a living wreath using seasonal plants and greenery.
Dobbies’ Green Team will lead guests through a demonstration before helping them design their own arrangements, which can be updated throughout the year.
The tea includes three tiers of sweet and savoury treats with unlimited tea or coffee.
On the menu are freshly prepared finger sandwiches, Dobbies’ fruit and plain scones with Cornish clotted cream and jam, and patisserie delights such as raspberry cheesecake, chocolate ganache slices, and a rosewater layer cake.
A sun-ripened tomato and pesto tart is also included.
Drinks can be upgraded to speciality teas, coffees, or hot chocolate for 50p, and a 200ml bottle of Prosecco can be added for £6.50.
Children can enjoy their own afternoon tea for £10.50 each.
Every Mother’s Day afternoon tea booking includes a complimentary limited-edition rose plant for mum to take home.
