About our workshops (in no particular order).

Dried flower wreath.
The perfect wreath to brighten up the inside of your home. Join us to learn the basics of drying flowers, what to consider when choosing your flowers and foliage for drying and then with our guidance, weave a natural willow ring before adding dried flowers to create a pretty and delicate wreath.

Moss Art.

Using sustainably preserved moss to create a piece of art. You will be provided with a handmade frame and given different types of moss and preserved foliage to make your own design to take home and hang on your wall. The moss will last for months without water as long as it is away from direct sunlight and any heat sources (such as radiators), all it will need is a gentle dust every now and then.


Vase arrangement.
Why not join us to create a beautiful real flower arrangement in a glass vase.  We'll chat about the principles of floristry, discussing how to get your flowers to last longer and what to consider when buying flowers, such as shape, texture and colour. 
Together we will then create an arrangement in a vase, without using florists foam. Your lovely creation including the vase will then be yours to keep.

Dried flower cloche.
Drying flowers is the perfect way to capture each season and create beautiful, long lasting arrangements for your home.
We harvest and dry our own flowers and those of other amazing, local growers in the Cotswolds.
We'll discuss drying flowers, colour, composition and texture before you arrange your own dried flower cloche, a wonderful addition to your home or the perfect gift for a loved one.

Dried flower bouquet.
Drying flowers is the perfect way to capture the bounty of each season and create beautiful, long lasting arrangements for your home.
We harvest and dry our own flowers and those of other amazing, local growers in the Cotswolds, as well as buying from specialist dried flower retailers.
Join us to learn the basics of drying flowers, what to consider when choosing your flowers and foliage and then with our guidance, create your own hand-tied dried bouquet from our carefully curated selection of beautifully preserved blooms.

Seasonal hand tied arrangement.
We'll chat about the principles of floristry, discussing how to get your flowers to last longer and what to consider when buying flowers, such as shape, texture and colour. 
We'll then immerse ourselves in creating a hand-tied bouquet of beautiful British summer flowers. Combining billowing blooms with delicate, scented flowers and fresh foliage in a stunning design before wrapping your creation in a Bloomery gift bag and vase for you to take home and enjoy.

Spring wreath.
Combining a wreath with spring bulbs is the perfect way to start the year.
We’ll weave our own Willow ring to begin, add seasonal foliage and spring bulbs surrounded in moss to allow them to drink and bloom over time. What could be more lovely than watching the flowers grow and bloom on your own front door.

Summer wreath.
If you've never thought of putting a wreath on your door in Summertime, think again!
With the right combination of plants, your wreath can adorn your front door throughout the warm Summer months (and live inside during the winter).
We’ll use a lovely Willow wreath as the base and attach the plants and foliage to this in your own stunning design. I'll guide you on the best choice of materials to withstand the Summer heat including succulents and how to look after them.

Autumn wreath.
How beautiful is the autumn foliage, how would you like to capture this in a wreath to hang on your front door.
We’ll weave a simple Willow ring as the base and add stunning Autumn foliage in your own stunning design, we may even add some dried flowers for a further pop of Autumn colour.

Christmas wreath.
Christmas isn’t the same without a gorgeous wreath on your front door, you can’t beat the scent as you greet your guests.
We’ll weave a simple Willow ring as the base and add Christmas foliage in your own stunning design, there will be materials like berries, Sea Holly, Limonium, Pine Cones, Cinnamon sticks, Orange slices and other natural decoration available, as well as a choice of ribbon for your bow.

Terrarium.
Terrariums are low maintenance, self-sustaining ecosystems that make a lovely gift or a great new addition to your home or office.
Learn the basic principles for building a terrarium, how the micro-climate works, what plants thrive best in them and how to care for them.
Then it's hands-on, create your own mini garden which will be yours to take home and keep.

Flower crown - ideal for hen parties.
Using a willow ring we attach seasonal flowers to create your own pretty flower crown.

Where we hold our workshops

Our light, bright and airy floral studio is in Broadway in the heart of the Cotswolds we run interactive floristry workshops, where you can get creative, have a wonderful time and take home your very own handmade arrangement.

We use as many flowers from local flower farms as we can in season and create our designs in environmentally-friendly methods (we won’t use florists foam or cellophane) – so it’s good for the planet and the plant!

We supply all of the equipment you need from string to scissors to refreshments and (of course!) biscuits and cakes. Just bring yourself and maybe a friend and be prepared to relax and have fun!

Our workshops are suitable for all from absolute beginners to the more experienced flower arranger.

Hen and stag parties
