What to expect
Will begin with an optional short stroll around the farm, introducing you to the possibilities of greenery foraging from the hedgerows – twigs and sprigs provide the unique frame for many an arrangement. You will be shown the all-important methods of conditioning your foliage, and we’ll explain why this is important.
You will learn:
How to condition flowers and foliage
How to hold the blooms correctly
How different blooms relate to one another
How to create an arrangement that echoes nature
Colour theory basics
During your time here, enjoy the surrounds of nature. The kettle is always on the fire, so you’ll be able to help yourself to tea, coffee and treats by the open fire (weather permitting) during breaks. We will be based in our craft studio at the top of the farm, it is covered, however we are open to the elements, so please dress accordingly.
