Join us for a delightful workshop where we uncover the artistry of crafting natural garden posies straight from your backyard blooms. Learn the secrets of harmonizing colors, textures, and scents to create stunning arrangements that bring the beauty of nature indoors. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned gardener, immerse yourself in the joy of floral creativity and take home your own handcrafted masterpiece. Let your garden blossom into a source of endless inspiration!

Many of us grow flowers in the garden with the idea of being able to cut them for flower arrangements for the house. But we often lack the knowledge and skills to arrange flowers into pleasing bouquets. In this workshop you will learn how to arrange beautiful garden posies from the flowers and greens you grow in your garden already. Iris will cover the theory of flower arranging, flower care and conditioning. You will arrange your own posy and decorate a jar to take home.

Read more about the problems with the flower industry and how to make cut flowers more sustainable here.

Our weekly farmer’s market will be in full swing during your workshop, so it’s worth arriving a little early to check out the stalls and maybe buy some fresh produce.
