Team Building & Employee Experiences
Trade the conference room for fresh greenery, creative projects, and meaningful conversation. We’ll help you create an experience your team will truly enjoy.
At The Garden at Pinehurst Farm, we believe creativity has a way of bringing people together. Our thoughtfully curated team building experiences encourage conversation, collaboration, and connection through hands-on activities inspired by nature.
Whether you’re celebrating a company milestone, welcoming new employees, showing appreciation to your staff, planning a holiday gathering, or simply looking for a refreshing way to spend time together, Pinehurst offers experiences your team will remember.
Join us at our historic greenhouse and barn in Bristol, Connecticut, or let us bring Pinehurst to you. We thoughtfully pack up each experience and travel to your office, school, business, or event space, bringing everything needed to create a memorable event.
No artistic or gardening experience is needed—just bring your team, and we’ll guide the rest.
Why Choose Pinehurst?
Pinehurst isn’t a typical event space, and our experiences aren’t typical team-building activities.
We’ve created a place where people naturally slow down, enjoy the process of creating, and connect with one another. Instead of competitive games or awkward icebreakers, your team will laugh, create, learn something new, and leave with memories—and often something beautiful to take home.
Every Pinehurst experience is intentionally curated—from the materials we choose to the way each table is styled—creating an atmosphere that’s as beautiful as the project itself.

Every workshop and event is thoughtfully curated, from the way materials are displayed to the finishing touches on each table. We carefully style each space with the same attention to detail our guests have come to expect at Pinehurst, creating an inviting atmosphere that inspires creativity from the moment your team walks in.
Meet Your Workshop Host
Dina Merrow is the founder and visionary behind The Garden at Pinehurst Farm in Bristol, Connecticut. She restored the last standing greenhouse and barn of the historic Bristol Nurseries, creating a place where people can reconnect with nature, creativity, and one another.
Passionate about color, quality, and thoughtful design, Dina carefully curates every Pinehurst experience using materials selected for their beauty, longevity, and uniqueness. She loves creating projects that become part of people’s homes, incorporating natural elements whenever possible, and finding creative ways to repurpose and reuse materials.
Always learning, taking classes, and exploring new techniques, Dina continues to evolve Pinehurst’s experiences while staying true to her belief that creativity should be approachable, relaxing, and enjoyable for everyone.
For the past several years, Pinehurst has become a holiday tradition for businesses, families, and community groups through its Holiday Greens Workshops, where guests create handcrafted wreaths, porch pots, and centerpieces using fresh greenery, ribbons, and carefully curated embellishments.
Today, that same attention to detail is brought into every Pinehurst experience, whether guests visit the farm or Pinehurst comes to them.
