We had a fantastic evening at our first Autumn Wreath Making Event on Tuesday 🍂

Our talented attendees created 25 beautiful wreaths, and it was lovely to see everyone's creativity come to life. We have had some really positive feedback, and it sounds like many of you would like to see similar events in the future!

A huge thank you to Rachel, our talented florist, for sharing her skills and helping everyone create such beautiful displays.

We can't wait to spot the wreaths on doors around the community over the coming weeks. At Almond Housing Association, we're proud to bring people together, build connections and support one another.

Have you hung your wreath yet? Share a photo in the comments - we'd love to see your creation! 📸
