One Space, Many Possibilities
More Than a Workshop
At Pinehurst, we believe the best gatherings are the ones where people create, laugh, learn, and connect.
Our private garden experiences combine the beauty of nature with hands-on botanical workshops, giving every guest something meaningful to enjoy during the experience and a beautiful keepsake to take home.
From intimate celebrations to corporate outings and community groups, every experience is thoughtfully designed to be welcoming, creative, and memorable.
The Pinehurst Feeling
Guests often tell us there’s something special about Pinehurst.
Natural light pours through the greenhouse. The gardens change with every season. The historic blue barn provides a warm and welcoming place to slow down, celebrate, create, and spend meaningful time together.
Whether you’re planting herbs, creating a terrarium, arranging flowers, playing Plant Bingo, or simply sharing a meal with loved ones, Pinehurst offers an experience that feels relaxed, creative, and deeply connected to nature.
Surrounded by seasonal gardens, many of the plants we grow ourselves, along with thoughtfully collected vintage treasures and unique botanical touches, Pinehurst is designed to inspire creativity at every turn. Every corner reflects our love of gardening, nature, and creating beautiful spaces for people to enjoy.
With exclusive use during your private experience, spacious on-site parking, and the flexibility to make the space your own, Pinehurst offers an atmosphere that feels personal, welcoming, and beautifully unhurried.
Proudly serving Bristol, Hartford County, Litchfield County, and surrounding Connecticut communities.

Instead of purchasing traditional party favors, the workshop becomes a personalized gift created by each guest. The experience itself also provides a fun, interactive activity that naturally brings people together, making it a memorable alternative—or complement—to traditional party games and entertainment.
Many of our workshops can also travel to your home, workplace, community organization, or event location throughout Connecticut.
