Join Flower Farmer and Florist Georgie Newbery as she shows you how to make a fabulous autumn wreath out of entirely foraged materials from her gardens at Common Farm in Somerset.
Using twigs and berries, seed heads, foliage, and dried flowers, she’ll show you how to twist together a rustic circle of twigs, and how to create a garland of goodies with which to dress it.
This is a fun autumn project designed to inspire you to go out and forage yourselves the next day, and make your own autumn door wreath.
Watch as Georgie creates her wreath and be inspired to go out foraging yourself over the weekend so you too can create your own door welcome.
Suitable for:
Enthusiastic flower arrangers and florists keen to learn more about sustainable floristry practice.
Why do a masterclass with Georgie Newbery of Common Farm Flowers?
Georgie Newbery has been building her small business growing flowers for sale and creating floristry with material she’s grown on the farm since 2010. She is a Gold Medal Winner at RHS Chelsea, a Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Floristry Judge, RHS dahlia trials committee member, and Garden Media Guild New Talent Award Judge. She's also the Joint External Chair for Flowers from the Farm.
Georgie does not see other flower farmers and florists as competition, but rather as potential colleagues and collaborators. Georgie knows that it is in her interest to teach her students everything she knows. And she spends a great deal of time talking to other flower farmers and small business owners and learning as much as she can around the subject of running small businesses and farming gardens and small acreage.

We will be in touch a few days before the session with your joining instructions. This email will come from nicola@commonfarmflowers.com.
