I have been a passionate gardener for many years. In 2006 I graduated in Garden and Landscape Design after studying at Moreton Morrell completing a 2 year HNC. I ran a garden design business for some years.
My love of gardening and arranging flowers has grown year on year. I decided I'd like to share these skills and founded "From Garden To Vase" in 2016 to bring my flowers into people's homes. I grow all my flowers in my cutting gardens in Culworth. I love working with flowers and creating floral arrangements for others to enjoy.
I take inspiration from vintage colours and textures and like to use wild flowers from the surrounding countryside in my arrangements where possible.
Flower Workshop
Venue: Forge Coffee - Culworth
Date: Sunday 29th March 2020
Morning session: 9.30am-11.30am
Afternoon session: 1pm-3pm
Cost: £55
I'm very excited to bring this workshop to the Forge. I have teamed up with local potter, Jacqueline Rappaport, from Hagstone Pottery in Woodford Halse to design a workshop celebrating local craftsmanship and collaboration.
Jacqueline has designed and handmade a beautiful ceramic bowl specially for our workshop which you will fill with an organic eco-friendly floral arrangement to take home and enjoy.
Using seasonal flowers and foliage grown here in Culworth I will show you how to make a floral arrangement without floral foam. This will include cutting and conditioning tips and advice on how to look after your flowers to get the best vaselife.
The cost includes all materials and a choice of hot or cold beverage & yummy cake courtesy of Forge Coffee. You will leave the workshop with a beautiful fresh flower arrangement in your hand thrown bowl (handcrafted bowl RRP £35)
Spaces are limited - bookings can be made via email fromgardentovase@icloud.com or phone 07979 464509
