Growing & Arranging Cut Flowers

Join Victoria from Victoria Rose Florals to explore the basics of growing your own beautiful blooms for cutting and arranging.

Beginning with a brief overview of the best plants to choose for a bountiful cutting garden, you will sow seeds and take cuttings to then grow at home.

The second part of the session will focus on creating a stunning vase arrangement using locally grown flowers and foliage to enjoy at home.

Tips and tricks will be shared throughout the workshop, with plenty of opportunities to learn new skills and feel confident using them.
