As the founders of Flores Daqui, a 2,5 acres sustainable floral farm launched in Colares in 2021, Sébastien Frère and Guillaume Baschet-Sueur have dedicated themselves to creating a space of tranquility and natural beauty. Our farm is more than a passion, it is a living project rooted in the landscape of Sintra Serra. We bring years of hands-on experience to our daily work with the land and are thrilled to welcome you to our little slice of Sintra.
Our expertises range from: permaculture, organic and sustainable production, edible flowers, landscape architecture, floral design, ecology, eduaction, biodiversity, gardening and garden therapy.
Flores Daqui was awarded the "Made in Sintra" label in July 2025, recognizing the authenticity, quality, innovation, and contribution to the local identity and economy of its products: flowers and floral arrangements. This seal values products that represent the best of the Sintra municipality.
Our previous project, at the Grand Daubeuf estate in Normandy, where Sébastien was Head Gardener and Guillaume Landscape Designer, received four awards:
- Villandry Prize in 2014;
- Joint First Prize, National Vegetable Ornamental Garden Competition 2019, awarded by the French National Horticultural Society;
- Vegetable Ornamental Garden Prize 2019, awarded by the Normandy Parks and Gardens Association;
- 'Remarkable Garden' label, to be awarded in 2025 by the French Ministry of Culture.
This is a family oriented activity, which has proven its worth, as it generates positive intergenerational bonds. Children participation is accepted if together with a responsible adult, also booking the workshop.
The activity takes place in our floral workshop, an open shed with no heating system. Please bring comfortable footwear, warm clothing, windbreaker / rain jacket, gloves and beanie.
A bespoke Advent or Christmas wreath, M-size for adults (45-50 cm diameter) and XS-size (30-35 cm diameter) for kids under 15 years old.
You’ll enjoy discovering the organic flower farm and creating your own natural Christmas decoration. An afternoon snack, including homemade pie and warm drinks, is also included.
The workshop invites you to discover your creativity and create your own wreath. No previous experience is mentioned as a requirement, so it’s a lovely opportunity to explore natural materials and make something unique.
You’ll take home your own handmade Advent or Christmas wreath, created with your favourite foliage and natural botanical ingredients—a personal, nature-inspired alternative to mass-produced festive decorations.
