Workshop ** Winter in Flower Farm ** : planning, growing, harvesting and arranging 9/10 February 2024

Winter in flower farm: how to plan, grow, harvest and arrange TRULY seasonal blooms and greenery all winter long.

A two days intensive workshop tailor made  for farmer florists: from my farm to yours.

If you follow us on social medias since a while you probably know how much we LOVE  the farm atmosphere and our greenery and  blooms in late winter.

As  former garden designers and plant nursery owners we have a pretty extensive knowledge of  shrubs, perennials and bulbs that we cannot wait to share with other farmer florists that want to extend their season.

The workshop will be taught in English with French and Italian translations available.

PROGRAM:

DAY 1  – WHAT TO GROW; HOW TO GROW

9 a.m. /  5.30 p.m.

After a quick farm tour and welcome breakfast we will introduce you to the  most interesting varieties for flower farming and  how to add them to your existing farm.

Trees, shrubs, perennials, bulbs and annuals;  nothing will be omitted.

This year we are also planting a new mixed hedgerow focusing on winter interesting plants and we will show you the process behind.

DAY 2 : ARRANGING SEASONAL BEAUTIES

9 a.m. / 5.30 p.m.

Arranging with seasonal blooms winter edition – no dried materials, just fresh, vibrant ones.

Before the floristry part we will invite you to create your own flat lay with what you like the most, a sort of natural, alive mood board.

Then we will learn how  make a natural bouquet, a no floral foam centerpiece and a set of  sustainable small accessories.
