Dahlias can be difficult to use in floristry. Join flower farmer and florist Georgie Newbery of Common Farm Flowers for this hand-tie demo using dahlias freshly cut from her own flower field.
RHS dahlia trials judge and RHS Chelsea Gold medal winner Georgie will give you top tips for using dahlias for all floristry, as well as demonstrating the ‘florists’ twist’ used to make a hand tie and wrapping in an aqua pack for delivery.
With time for questions, and tips for different varieties, this demo will help you take your dahlias from your garden, with a discussion on their particular demands when cutting and conditioning them and put these gorgeous blooms centre stage in your cut flower arrangements.
Here's what some recent students had to say about this demo:
"I booked the hour online session on tying dahlia bouquets and found Georgie to be an engaging and authoritative speaker, full of tips for successful growing and floristry. She made the session accessible to all, from people like me who grow dahlias for fun right through to those who are florists and flower farmers. We overran because no question was left unanswered. Enthused by what I learned yesterday I have just tied a couple of bunches - next stop Sowing Hardy Annuals course I think! Thank you Georgie."
