Workshops and Events
At different times of year, I offer a range of workshops and events to share my passion for growing flowers and creating decorative beauty from natural, seasonal materials. These range from making fresh and dried wreaths and flower crowns to tulip picking, flower arranging, and botanical pumpkin decoupage using pressed flowers from the garden.

​
Welcome the brighter, lengthening days by joining me to make a beautiful, fresh, ‘living’ wreath in the wonderfully rustic barn of the Random Apple Co. on the rural edge of Macclesfield.
Settle into the session with home-made cake and juice pressed on the farm from the fruit of the heritage orchards.
Using British-grown seasonal flowers, we will moss-wrap the roots of flowering plants and tie them, along with spring bulbs and foliage, to a cushioned base of moss. Complete it with the final touches of hand-blown quail eggs, feathers and twigs, and the finished wreath you’ll take home will continue to grow and flower beautifully for several weeks to come, through Easter and beyond. Plant the bulbs in your garden afterwards for a spring display next year.
​
What to expect
All tools, materials, and step-by-step guidance are provided. A twinkly barn setting, mulled Random apple juice and home-baked cake will help you settle in to the creative process....
