Living Spring wreath :

Join me at my home and we will create a gorgeous Spring living wreath ( they’re not just for Christmas!)to adorn your front door for Easter.
We will use a sustainable willow base and cover with moss, and I will guide you through decorating them with living bulbs, plants and foliage such as pussy willow and textured grasses. The wreath will continue to ‘grow’ and change as the season progresses.
Prices include all materials, tea or coffee , homemade cake and lots of friendly chatter.

Wedding Florals workshop:
Sunday 20th July 2025 10am - 1.30pm
Many more celebrants are choosing to design and create their own wedding day florals. As we offer D-I-Y buckets of our best flowers in the field, it made sense to offer a course for this who want to learn how to create their own Bridal bouquet and Boutonnieres ( buttonholes to you and me!)You will be shown how to choose which type of seasonal flowers work best for the bouquet and how to cut and condition the flowers, ready for arranging. You will be using very different flowers to what you would normally be able to buy from a shop to create a beautiful, organic, naturalistic style - that is our signature style! You will also finish off your bouquet with ribbon and will be shown how to pin or create ‘tails’. And the best thing is you get to take it home and enjoy it!
This is a very relaxed event and we offer exclusivity to four people on any one workshop, so we can really concentrate on sharing our expertise with you. You may choose to come along with your friend or family, if they will be helping on the big day, but both of you will need a place. If you are coming on your own then rest assured, you will be guided individually.
Prices include all materials, tea or coffee , a glass of fizz and light refreshments .

Summer Solstice Hand-tied Bouquet :
Thursday 19th June 2025
Using a mix of seasonal fresh flowers and foliage grown here on the farm and other British growers, I will guide you in creating a beautiful hand-tied bouquet ( with the spiralled technique ) to take home with you. I will show how to cut and condition the flowers so that they are longer lasting within the vase. You’ll also learn how to wrap them in compostable tissue and paper so that you can create a gift for yourself or a special loved one. There is definitely an art to that!
This is a very relaxed event and every bouquet will be unique and gorgeous, including lots of flowers that you won’t be used to seeing such as orlaya, colibri poppies and scabiousa.
