Natural dried flowers are beautiful and it is wonderful to be able to create something with them to decorate your home and appreciate for months to come. During this workshop you will be guided on how to work with dried flowers and will make your own wreath or flower crown (these can be interchangeable) to take home. The pictures shown are examples of what you can create with the wide range of material available.  All tools and materials are provided although you are welcome to bring anything from home that you might like to use. The workshop is limited to 8 people so that I can guarantee everyone gets enough attention or help.

Enjoy some quality time with a small group, creating and chatting whilst making a beautiful willow heart for you or a loved one You will be guided through the process of forming a heart from willow and then choose from a beautiful selection of dried flowers to decorate it with.

I grow and dry all the flowers locally using environmentally friendly practices.

This May workshop aims to give you the confidence to sow your own seeds and know how to look after them to produce beautiful flowers for your garden. We will sow some here that you can take home. I will focus on a selection of seeds suitable for sowing now, all of which are great as cut flowers. You are welcome to bring any seed packets that you have already bought and intend to sow this year. What we will cover: what containers to use what compost germination preferences like heat, light hardy vs half hardy annuals problems particularly focussing on all your current questions I will bring some 'that I sowed earlier' for you to experience pricking out seedlings so that you know what to do when yours are at the right stage. All materials such as pots, labels, seeds and compost will be provided but please bring gloves if you would like them, an apron or clothes that won't mind a bit of compost on and a medium sized box or container to bring your pots/trays home in.
