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.
Spring Tablescape Demonstration
Saturday 12th April 2025 10.30am-12.30pm
£20
A special morning for all you flower lovers!
Join us for a couple of hours of gorgeous spring flowers in our studio tucked away on the Northumberland/Scottish Borders border. We will greet you with coffee and homemade treats before you settle in to enjoy a full demonstration using our homegrown seasonal flowers. Think tulips, narcissi, ranunculus, anemones, fritillaries! We will demonstrate a full spring tablescape design, including low bowl arrangements, bud vases and floral place settings. You will leave full of ideas and inspiration to create your own table for Easter or dinner party.
Seasonal Bowl Design
Friday 2nd May 2025 or Friday 17th October 2025 2pm-4pm
£95
Embrace the joy of seasonal flower arranging. Whether you join us in spring or autumn we will teach you how to create a naturally styled garden inspired low bowl arrangement using sustainable techniques. Creating flower arrangements in bowls allow you to capture a moment in time. They hold in them everything that looked perfect in the garden on that day and in doing so they become a time stamp for the month or season they were created in. Creating a bowl arrangement is such a mediative and thoughtful exercise. It allows you to look at your garden and all the beauty it possesses. If you want to learn the art of how to create a design that has depth and texture, that dances and that reflects true nature, then this class will give you the opportunity to.
This half day class will start with a tour of our cutting garden where we will discuss what flowers are looking at their best and discuss which varieties will work well in a bowl arrangement. Back in the studio, whilst you enjoy tea and homemade cake, we will demonstrate a low bowl arrangement. Then it will be over to you to select your flowers and create your own arrangement using a handmade ceramic bowl and floral pin frog. Once everyone has made their bowls we will find the best light to photograph them so that you have a lasting memory of your time with your us.

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

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.
