2027 sessions at the farm

The Introduction To Flower Farming Workshop

Tuesday 16th March

Join Georgie for a day looking at what it takes to become a person who grows flowers for sale, during which Georgie will share the skills and strategies she’s learned over the last 16 years. This is the perfect starting point for anyone who is exploring the idea of turning their love of flower growing into a business.

“I joined Georgie for her marvellous workshop and it was as informative, inspiring and energising as I had hoped it would be! I’ve come away with so much to take forward and action, to give my business and flowers the best start possible. Georgie is so open and honest in her teaching and I’ve learned so much in just one day.”

The Eco Floristry Retreat (3 Days)

Tuesday 15th, Wednesday 16th, Thursday 17th June

Join Georgie for this glorious retreat and over the 3 days you will get to cut and condition enormous quantities of flowers and foliage from the farm, which you will then use to create hand tied bouquets and bridal party flowers, table centres and floral tablescaping and larger installations, including floral arches, big urns and meadow boxes.

You might prefer to do an individual day of our Eco Floristry Retreat if you’ve specific skills you’d like to learn more about or practice, as follows:

The Eco Floristry Retreat Day One (hand tied bouquets and bridal party flowers)
The Eco Floristry Retreat Day Two (table centre flowers and tablescaping)
The Eco Floristry Retreat Day Three (larger floral installations)

“I attended the Common Farm Flowers three day eco retreat and loved every second of it. Georgie is a relaxed, confident and hugely talented human whom I feel so fortunate to have learnt from. I wholeheartedly recommend her workshops and offerings.”

The Flower Farm Tour

Friday 18th June

Our tour in June 2026 sold out early and we’ve already sold several places for 2027. So if you’d like to come and spend a couple of hours with Georgie and Fabrizio, learning more about how we farm at Common Farm and why we do things the way we do, take a look at our website and book this event sooner rather than later to be sure of your place. It’s the time of year when the meadows at the farm look stunning and the roses are in full bloom - absolute bliss, but with lots of learning along the way too!

“Spent a lovely afternoon with Georgie Newbery and other flower enthusiasts at Common Farm Flowers yesterday. Learned about the day to day life of a flower farmer / florist, so inspiring! If you get the chance I highly recommend it!”

2026 still to come ‘at the farm’

There are still a couple of sessions to come at the farm this year. Click the links here for more details:

The Flower Farming Intensive Workshop (3 days)

Tuesday 6th, Wednesday 7th, Thursday 8th October

Join Georgie for 3 days looking at land management and growing practice for a flower and foliage crop you can rely on, business planning and marketing, cutting and conditioning your crop, and floristry. Ideal for people who’ve some experience of growing flowers for sale, who want to refine their processes, strategise to optimise their time and their crop growing, make more of their land, and make sure they are taking advantage of many different possibilities for earning which flower farming offers.

“Great three days spent with the inspiring Georgie learning about how to set up and run our own flower business. Georgie was generous with her time, experience, knowledge and flowers. Another bonus which I hadn't realised would be of such value was meeting other attendees to keep in touch with and share the experience. Georgie did a fantastic job of ensuring that the course was tailored to meet all our needs at a pace that allowed lots of questions as well as being practical and hands on. Lots of relevant information that is just not available anywhere else that builds confidence and helps your structure your business from every angle. Highly recommended.”

The Lifestyle Business Retreat

Tuesday 17th, Wednesday 18th, Thursday 19th November

A 3 day retreat for small business founders or those who’d like to be (not just flower farmers) who want to step away from the daily whirlwind, take stock, and return with clarity, direction, and energy, exploring:

Your objectives and defining what ‘enough’ looks like for you.
Building the habits and mindset to keep your progress steady and sustainable.
Building the identity and voice that markets your business, even when you’re not.

Georgie delivers this retreat alongside colleagues Alice Armstrong Scales (incredibly experienced personal development coach) and Francesca McGarey (a marketing strategist specialising in sustainable systems for small businesses).

“A thought provoking, inspiring and helpful three days spent with some brilliant minds all searching for slightly different things. Thank you, Georgie, for bringing together some great course leaders and people.”
