Creative Team Building Activities for Employees
Interactive Workshops
Host interactive workshops either at your business location or at our Bedfordshire Flower School that allow employees to learn new skills while having fun. Consider activities like:
Flower arranging classes, where employees can unleash their creativity while working together. Working with Bedfordshire Flower School, Kirsty and the team can create an amazing session to your specifications and requirements. Each private company workshop is run by one of our experienced florists who will guide your staff through making a floral design from start to finish.
Gin-making courses in a relaxed environment.
Art sessions, such as learning calligraphy , Lino printing, Soy candle making or watercolour painting.
Themed Corporate Events
Pairing local cuisine with wine or craft beverages for a sophisticated and enjoyable experience. For example, near our Flower School in Sandy, Willow Tree Gin offers a gin-making experience that could be paired with one of our gin-inspired floral classes—such as a lemon and lime flower arrangement or learning to arrange dried flowers in a gin bottle.
Opt for a tea themed corporate social event at The Dairy Café at Franklins Farm Shop, where guests can enjoy afternoon tea while creating a teacup flower design with guidance from our team at Bedfordshire Flower School.
Other unique corporate event ideas could include a flower crown-making workshop or an Autumn pumpkin arrangement class which could be held alongside your at a Christmas party or awards event.
Wellness and Mindfulness Retreats
Organize a wellness retreat for employees to unwind and rejuvenate while engaging in team-building exercises. These retreats can include activities like yoga sessions, guided meditations, and mindfulness workshops. Incorporating flowers and nature into the retreat can enhance the experience, as flowers are known for their calming and therapeutic effects.
Networking and Social Events
Plan networking events that allow employees to connect with colleagues from different departments or even industry peers. Consider hosting team-building activities during lunchtime or having an afternoon class. There are many options for 1-2 hour creative corporate event workshops, including:
Decorating a Christmas door wreath (we'll bring ready-made foliage wreath bases and all the decorations needed).
Creating a terrarium for your desk.
Making a super cute dried flower wreath decoration.
Remote Staff Social Event Ideas
Incorporating activities for work-from-home staff and remote workers ensures everyone can participate, regardless of location. Here are some creative options to keep remote teams engaged:
DIY Christmas Wreath Making Kits: Send out Flower kits containing all the necessary materials (except scissors) along with a step-by-step guide. This allows remote workers to craft their wreaths together during a virtual meeting, sharing their creations and enjoying each other's company.
Gift Vouchers: Offer gift vouchers for employees to spend online at the Bedfordshire Flower School, allowing them to choose workshops or materials that interest them.
