Overview
Join Saffron and Nicole at the Sutton Lodge Flower farm in a series of all things British flowers and sustainable floristry based workshops, immerse yourself in the essence in our flower farm, taking the day to explore, connect with nature, rebalance and refocus for the year ahead. During the First session, we will spend the morning foraging, talking through the plans for the flower farm, planting seeds and enjoying the outdoors – so wrap up and bring your boots. We then head to the farmhouse for a homemade lunch and to warm up in front of the aga, before creating a beautiful ‘flat lay’ picture to take home, using the foraged items and a mix of dried flowers, before moving on to create a seasonal floral design into a footed bowl. We finish with the usual tea and cake. Nicole and Saffron will talk you through how they dry and store the flowers and how they use them within their floristry.
