Workshops and courses
Floristry workshops take place in my 300 year old cottage in Chewton Keynsham where I have a purposely designed space for courses. All materials are provided within the cost so for a floristry workshop this will include any flowers, foliage and plants required. You will also have use of professional floristry scissors and an apron to protect your clothing.
For the growing or cutting workshops these will often involve a trip to the flower farm so I recommend bringing gardening gloves and a pair of wellingtons or other suitable footwear.
Flower Farming for Beginners (SOLD OUT)
Sunday 10th February 10am-4pm
This day is aimed at those who would like to grow flowers to sell.
We will cover land management and preparation, tools, selecting what to grow, seed sowing - how and when, recommended suppliers, how to care for the patch to get the best yield, when to cut, how to condition, and ways to sell your flowers.
The day will include lunch, refreshments, and a handout to cover the topics from the day.
By the end of the day you should go home full of inspiration and ready to start on your patch.
Cost £150.00 per person
This will be a small group so please book early to avoid disappointment.
Mothers Day Treat
Saturday 30th March 10am - 12pm or 2pm - 4pm
Rather than buying a bouquet for your mum this year, treat her to a workshop where she can enjoy learning to make her own. This will be an ideal gift for your mum, or for an even better experience make a day of it and come along too for a special day out together. I have also had friends attend who wanted to make bouquets to give to their mum the next day - there are plenty of reasons to come along and enjoy spending time with flowers!
I will briefly demonstrate how to make a professional hand tied bouquet and be on hand to help and give guidance along the way as you learn the techniques to arrange flowers at home.
The workshop will last for about two hours and include cream teas and home made cakes to fuel your creativity.
Flowers and all other materials will be provided.
Cost £47.50 per person or £90 for two

Private bookings
If you have a group of 6 or more I can offer private workshops - these are great for friends, hen parties or corporate events. I can tailor a workshop to suit your requirements - in the past these have included flower crowns, hand tied bouquets, wreaths and garlands but if you have any ideas I am happy to discuss them with you. Private bookings can be held at my workshop or I can come to your home or venue of your choice. Please get in touch for more information.
Cancellations
Unfortunately refunds are not available on cancellations as there are a limited number of places available on workshops and we may not be able to re-sell your space.
