Late spring is a time to explore the soft, nuanced palettes to be found in the garden - creamy yellows, blush, mauve and every shade of green from the glaucous feathers of Phacelia tanacetifolia (earthsmoke) and the variegated fern-like leaves of Polemonium (Jacob’s ladder) to the bronze-tipped Geranium robertianum (herb Robert).
We want every visitor to have an immersive workshop experience. Firstly, through learning - everything from plant varieties, insect life, soil health and compost to design theory, vases, books and resources, tips on working in events and how to photograph arrangements. Secondly, through a welcoming space filled with extraordinary flowers, delicious food, mindful activity and memorable shared encounters with a community of passionate people.
Gathering together to share food, decorating the table ~ this is an ancient ritual. Table flowers are a way to pull at the threads that connect the garden to the vase, the season, the food on our plates to create an enveloping sensory experience.
woRDS FROM OUR STUDENTS
"Inspiring, empowering and beautiful" MARTINA
“It was a very special moment in time for me and I will remember it forever. I would definitely recommend doing a workshop… You will feel like you have grown on more levels than just the flower arranging skills" Anouchka
"I've had 2 private (classes) and both were fantastic. Very absorbing and I left ebullient, as I was immersed in something I love and felt so satisfied by! Would definitely recommend to others" PRISCILLA
“It was an absolute joy from start to finish - the warm welcome from you all, your inspiring teaching, the generosity of the flowers and vessels… I came home brimming with ideas on how to use ingredients from my garden and surroundings in a fresh and different way… When I got home, I foraged FOR vetch which I had never considered before and used that with wild poppies and am now looking at a little bottle of wild strawberries on my kitchen table!” ANNABEL
"Holistic. Evocative. Enhancing" valerie
