Summer Saturday
Description
Saturday 7th June 2025
10am - 4pm
Do you love summer flowers? Stocks, Delphiniums, Peonies, Ammi and so many more! Our Summer Saturday celebrates all that we grow in our own gardens. Join us for this wonderful one day workshop creating designs that you can do at home without using floristry foam.
We start with a vase/container arrangement (sounds so easy!). Choosing the correct vessel, stem lengths and preparation of flowers. From there we will show you how to use chicken wire egg to make sure your flowers are secure in the design. We make sure you know how to look after your flowers too!
In the afternoon you will create a nature inspired meadow design. Perfect for a windowsill, aisle runner or even for a mantle. The base you create you can reuse over the summer and longer.
With an abundance of British summer flowers now available from artisan growers all over the UK (and you can recreate using flowers from your own garden) these designs can be recreated throughout the seasons.
Everything you create is yours to take home including the containers and flowers.
DETAILS
The workshop includes all the flowers, foliage and containers that you need to complete the item(s).
You will also be provided with tools to use during the session. If you wish to purchase tools, we have these available and can be purchased on the day.
We suggest you bring your camera to take photos as a reminder of what you have learnt during the day.
We would recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothing that you don't mind getting wet or dirty (as flowers involve a bit of both!)
You will need to bring a packed lunch with you. Beverages are provided.

"I absolutely loved it. It was the perfect amount of hands-on education and learning. I would recommend to anyone interested and absolutely will be back!"
"Really thoroughly enjoyed it. Made to feel really comfortable as a beginner to floristry. Really well taught and demonstrated. Loved the 3 aspects to it as well I've come away knowing a lot more than I did this morning - would love to come back for another course someday soon. Thank you!."
Loved this workshop. Really friendly and therapeutic to come to this class. I am a complete beginner but felt that didn't matter at all.
Absolutely loved it. Didn't want it to end. Hungry to learn more and loved the friendly atmosphere. Excellent tutoring, very patient and happy to explain a second time. I'll be back!
