Lavender Wand Making Workshop

Register here: Lavender Wand Workshop Signup

As part of our 2025 Garden Workshop series, join us at Point Ellice House for a hands-on Lavender Wand Making Workshop! Lavender wands are made by handweaving a bouquet of fresh lavender with ribbon so that it encases the buds and preserves the fragrance as it dries. These wands are often used to scent drawers and cabinets.

🗓️ Dates: July Fri 18, Sat 19, Sun 20

🕑 Time: 2pm-4pm

🏛️ 🍃 Location: Point Ellice House Museum & Gardens, 2616 Pleasant Street, Victoria, BC

🎟️ Tickets are $30 per person.

Includes:

  • Brief introduction to the history of lavender use
  • Instruction provided in our historic garden setting
  • Enough time and materials to make two wands!
