We've combined two of our popular flower arranging demos to offer you the opportunity to book them together at a reduced cost.
This is an ideal combination of sessions for people who want to learn the process of cutting and conditioning, alongside the mechanics of creating a hand tie bouquet.
The demos included in this package and dates are as follows. Please click the demo name for full details of each session.
The Spring Hand Tie Demo
Join Georgie for this fun demo, where she demonstrates making a hand tied bouquet with seasonal flowers cut fresh from her flower farm in Somerset. Georgie will show you the exact method of making a hand tied twist, with lots of different varieties of flowers and foliage, so you’ll get lots of inspiration for you to forage some lovely ingredients to go in a flower posy.
The Cutting and Conditioning Demo
To have success with flowers from your garden you need to know how to cut and condition them successfully. Join Georgie for an hour of cutting and conditioning chat: when to cut flowers, how to cut flowers, what is searing, why cut at an angle, how to treat woody and sappy stems differently. With Georgie’s help and advice, you can be confident that the flowers you’ve spent so much time and effort growing will look amazing when you’ve cut them to put in a vase as well.
Why do a workshop or demo with 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 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Floristry Judge, RHS dahlia trials committee member, and Garden Media Guild New Talent Award Judge.
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.
There are no secrets held back from you at a Common Farm Flowers workshop.
