WORKSHOPS

Throughout the year we offer a variety of sustainable floristry workshops, held in our flower studio at Knapton with it’s wood burning stove to keep you warm in the winter

Our ‘Pick and arrange’ monthly half day seasonal flower sessions include a tour of the walled cutting garden, greenhouse and flower field looking at what’s flowering seasonally and a discussion of the monthly tasks you could do to grow your own flowers successfully

You will choose and pick your own flowers from the cutting garden and learn sustainable floristry techniques to create beautiful bouquets and arrangements to take home, without the use of floral foam

Our workshops celebrate Tulips in April, Peonies in June and Dahlias in July and August followed by Autumn Flowers

Sustainable Wreath making classes are held in late November and December

There is something to choose all year around and gift vouchers are available

All workshops include your flowers, full tuition and fabulous home made cake.

Private group workshops can be arranged all year round. Do you have a special birthday celebration or a DIY wedding where you want to arrange your own flowers for you and your bridesmaids?

Contact us to arrange. Please note these are for a minimum of 6 participants.

Alongside these workshops, Sarah also runs ‘The Sustainable Cutting Garden’ day course at the Norfolk School of Gardening. See below for details or Clickhereto book.
