21ST MARCH - 1-4PM - THE BOHO FARM, WHEATHAMPSTEAD
In this 3-hour workshop, Alison and Yulia will walk you through how to design and build your very own cutting garden - whether it's in a raised bed, a border, or even just in pots. You'll learn how to choose reliable, season-long varieties, plan for succession planting, sow seeds and create healthy soil organically. You’ll also learn how to harvest, cut, and condition your flowers so they last beautifully in the vase. At the end, you’ll go home with seeds sown ready for planting, plus the knowledge and confidence to cultivate a flourishing, productive patch of your own.
DATES BY REQUEST - 10AM-3PM - THE BOHO FARM, WHEATHAMPSTEAD
This full day workshop is for people who wish to grow and arrange seasonal cut flowers. The whole day will take place at Boho Farm and will last from 10am-3pm. We will discuss what cut flowers to grow and how this can support a more sustainable future. We will then sow a range of appropriate successional hardy and half hard seeds for you to take home. You'll receive a comprehensive booklet covering all you need to get your cut flower patch delivering flowers for you all season long. We’ll also seek out some self sown seedlings around the farm to add to your flower patch. After a light lunch we’ll discuss the key sustainable mechanics of flower arranging, along with learning how to care for your cut flowers to ensure longevity. Alison will then guide you in making a beautiful arrangement to take home. In April this will be a long, low, natural style arrangement encompassing the quintessential beauty of fresh, scented, seasonal and locally grown flowers.
