Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE WORKSHOP

Pour, Scent and Personalize Your Own Citronella Candle

Guided by an experienced instructor, you pour candles into tins and personalize them with essential oils, botanicals and bright citrus notes such as lemon and orange, creating a finished citronella candle designed to help repel insects naturally.

THE INGREDIENTS

Natural Bug‑Off Spray Without Harsh Chemicals

In addition to the candle, the workshop walks you through making a plant‑based ‘Bug Off’ spray or roller using essential oils and natural ingredients that help deter insects without resorting to harsh chemical repellents.

THE SETTING

A Relaxed, BYOB Social with Baby Animal Cuddles

The session is intentionally social and low‑pressure: bring a beverage if you like, enjoy the company of fellow participants, and pause for sweet cuddle time with kittens and other farm friends during the class.

What the day feels like

What the Workshop Feels Like

The 1 hour 30 minute session moves at an easy, hands‑on pace: you’ll be shown how to measure and blend scents, pour wax into a tin, add botanicals and finish a candle, then assemble a small natural spray or roller for evenings outdoors — all punctuated by brief, supervised cuddle time with kittens and other farm animals in a relaxed BYOB atmosphere.
