We are passionate about sharing our love of seasonal flowers with others. Throughout the year we open up our studio and cutting garden for bespoke classes and demonstrations, providing a special experience and a moment of escapism. Whether you are a beginner, an avid flower arranger, or an experienced florist, we aim to provide a class just for you. Please take a look at what we have coming up. If you wish to book onto any of our group classes you can do so via the shop.
Garden Roses Demonstration
Saturday 21st June 2025 10.30am-12.30pm
£20
There are few pleasures to be found in the garden in June that can compare to the scent and beauty of roses. Over the last eight years we have continually increased our roses stock and for the first time we are opening our studio to share them all with you.
Following a walk in our cutting garden to see all our roses growing we will all head into the studio for coffee and homemade treats. Whilst you settle in we will talk you through the rose varieties we grow, and then spend time demonstrating and creating a still life floral arrangement with roses as the focal flower. Whether you are a flower lover looking to escape for a morning or an artist wanting to capture some inspiration this is the morning for you.
Summer Bouquet Class
Saturday 21st June 2025 2pm-5pm
£95
June in the garden is something to behold - the days are long and the light never ending, the scent of roses and sweet peas lingers, and the colours dance and mingle together. Join us at this special time of year to learn how to make the perfect bouquet - one that looks like it has been gathered from the garden, one that dances effortlessly in the hands of the holder, and one that sings of early summer.
Do you ever see gorgeous floral bouquets in your Instagram feed and wish you knew how to make them? Do you want to master some techniques for turning your own flowers into something beautiful? This is the class for you! Suitable for all - from people who just love to play with flowers to experienced florists who want to develop new techniques.
This half day class will begin with a gentle tour of our cutting garden where we will discuss what is looking at its best and what might work well in a bouquet, we will then move into the studio and whilst you enjoy homemade refreshments you can watch us demonstrate our natural bouquet style and ask as many questions as you want. It will then be your turn to select your flowers and make your own bouquet, we always keep our class numbers small in order that each attendee gets the opportunity for some one on one guidance and support. Once the final flourish of hand-dyed silk ribbon has been added to your bouquet we will head back outside to capture it on camera so you have a lasting memory of your day.

Summer Afternoon Tea and Pick Your Own
Saturday 5th July 2025 1pm-4.30pm
£65
Do you love cake and seasonal flowers? Then this might just be the perfect afternoon for you!
You will enjoy a tour of our cutting garden whilst it is at its peak in summertime. We will guide you through what is looking at its best to pick and which varieties will give you the best vase life. It is then over to you as we give you a bucket and some snips and let you lose to go and cut your own flowers. Back in the cool escape of the studio we will provide you with a vase that you can arrange your gorgeous seasonal summer flowers into. To finish the afternoon off in style a full homemade afternoon tea will then be served hopefully, weather permitting, within the garden.
Join us for a rather special summer afternoon!
