Join Floral Designer Erica Downes and Flower Farmer Jen Foster as they take you on a journey of floral magic through the beauty of Dahlia season on the flower farm. 

Thursday 19th March: 9:30am-1:30pm

Experience an abundance of blooms, create whimsical floral arrangements under the guidance of Erica and tour the flower farm with Jen. Explore one of Australia's largest Dahlia collections (over 4,000 Dahlias across more than 600 varieties!) while you harvest your own beautiful bucket of Dahlias to take home. You will learn about our natural and sustainable approaches to farming and designing, from both a garden and flower farm perspective.

This hands-on workshop teaches participants the basics of creating sustainable, foam-free floral centrepieces. Perfect for beginners or anyone who is interested in growing and designing with their own flowers, this workshop focuses on fundamental techniques and eco-friendly methods to design beautiful arrangements. By the end of the workshop, participants will take home a stunning centrepiece made with their own creativity, as well as the knowledge and confidence to create more foam-free arrangements at home.
