Workshops Led by Our Studio

We have taught hundreds of beginners how to explore the therapeutic and artistic aspects of floral design while learning techniques that deepen a connection to nature and foster growth. One of our senior studio team members will lead a class of your choice, providing an engaging and interactive experience that allows attendees to connect with your brand or product on a personal level through flowers. This hands-on approach enhances visibility and awareness, amplifying exposure to a wider audience. Our workshops with fresh cut flowers, dried stems and potted plants, can be tailored to your specific requirements. Previously, we have offered classes on hand-tied bouquets, vase arrangements, pressed flowers, wreaths, outdoor and indoor planting and more, creating memorable experiences that leave a lasting impression.

Upcoming Events

  • We are delighted to be joining Alice Vincent for a live recording of the Why Women Grow podcast at the Garden Musuem in London.

    What draws women to the earth, and why do we garden? These are the questions Hazel will discuss with author Alice Vincent during a live recording for the Why Women Grow podcast. Hazel was the first woman interviewed for Alice’s bestselling book Why Women Grow in 2020.

    Four years on and what began as a question – why do we grow – has blossomed into a critically acclaimed book, chart-topping podcast and, now, a photography exhibition at the Garden Museum opening 20 March 2024. Friends and sometimes colleagues, Alice and Hazel will delve into the personal tethers that keep bringing them back to the land in a lively, intimate and warm conversation.

  • Join Hazel in conversation with Rachel de Thame, horticulturalist, writer and ‘Gardener’s World’ presenter alongside Nathan Moss of Goldwell Flowers Nursery as they demonstrate how to create patches of paradise, which also serve as thriving natural habitats for various pollinators.

    How can we create gardens that are both beautiful spaces and havens for pollinators? Without bees, butterflies and other insects, there would be no gardens. Yet many of these beautiful creatures are struggling due to climate change and habitat loss, often exacerbated by overuse of insecticides and weedkillers. Rachel is a passionate advocate for wildflower and insect conservation. She believes in gardens that co-exist in balance with the natural world. Nathan is heavily involved with butterfly conservation in Kent and curated the lawns at Spencer House in London, returning them to wildflower meadow with pollinators in mind.
