On Farm Workshops in Gloucester, VA

Let your creativity shine at Under the Stars Farm in Gloucester, Virginia, where hands on workshops invite you to craft lavender wreaths, candles, soaps, and floral arrangements you can proudly carry home.

The Workshop Experience

Create Something With Your Hands

Our hands on workshops turn the farm into a creative studio where you slow down and make something beautiful. Guided by our team, you will learn a new skill in a relaxed, welcoming setting surrounded by the fields. Each session is designed so beginners feel comfortable and everyone leaves with a finished piece to take home.


The fragrance of lavender fills the air, and the unhurried pace makes the time feel restorative as well as fun. Workshops are a favorite for friends planning a creative outing, families looking for quality time, and anyone who enjoys making things by hand. Because sessions are reservation based, your group enjoys a personal experience with plenty of guidance.


What You Can Make

Workshops for Every Interest

There is a workshop to match almost any creative spark. In our lavender wreath making sessions, you craft a fragrant decoration that brightens any door or wall. Floral arranging classes teach you to build bouquets and displays using fresh blooms from the fields.


For something different, essential oil distillation reveals how lavender is transformed into the oils that scent so many products. Candle and soap making sessions let you pour and shape your own lavender goods to keep or gift. The variety means you can return throughout the season and try something new each time.

Who It Is For

Fun for Groups and Individuals

Workshops at Under the Stars Farm welcome all kinds of guests. Friends book them for birthdays, girls days, and creative get togethers, while families enjoy making something together across generations. Couples find them a sweet and memorable date, and solo visitors appreciate the calm focus of working with their hands.


Companies also reserve workshops for team building and corporate outings that feel fresh and meaningful. No experience is needed, since our team guides every step and provides the materials. Groups from Williamsburg, Newport News, Richmond, and beyond find the trip well worth it.


Make a Day of It

Pair Your Class With More

A workshop is the perfect centerpiece for a full day on the farm. Arrive early to pick your own flowers, join a guided tour, or simply enjoy the views before your class begins. Afterward, browse the on farm shop for lavender soaps, syrups, and linen sprays that complement what you made.


In the right season, you can even add a farm to table dinner to round out the day. Our team is glad to help you combine experiences so everything flows smoothly. With 12.5 acres to explore, there is always more to see and do.
