Workshops

Photo shows three participants at the Eco Flowers Retreat at Common Farm Flowers with large arrangements they've made on Day 3 of the workshop. The arrangements are full of summer flowers grown sustainably on the Somerset flower farm.

Our workshops, whether online or in person here at Common Farm Flowers, are the perfect way to spend time and make for a lovely treat for yourself or an ideal gift for someone else.

Running throughout the year, we love to share our experience and tips on various fabulous subjects! Here’s our current list of what’s on offer. Just click on each link below to find out more. If there are currently dates available please keep your eye on our website / social media / newsletter for news of when we have scheduled new dates. And check our calendar for our full list of workshops - it's constantly evolving and we may occasionally miss adding something to this list! 

If you do book a workshop via our website please be aware of a slight quirk in that the website will force you to choose a delivery date. This is because the website is very much set up for taking orders for bouquets. So just choose any delivery date - and then you'll be able to proceed with your booking. If you’ve got any questions please contact us
