Year Long Course

Grow Your Own Cut Flowers

Central to everything we do on the plots is our year long, 5 day session Course, 'Grow Your Own Cut Flowers'. We meet at pivotal points in the growing year to cover all the practical tasks and planning for growing flowers and whatever that means for you, in your space. We are now in our 6th year of running it and welcomed gardeners, hobby florists, florists, flower farmers, allotmenteers and many more. After the foundation year course, students 'graduate' to Alumni and return for masterclasses, one-to-ones, Friday Meet Ups and monthly zooms to develop skills, knowledge and continue participants growth in all ways.

Mentoring & Consultancy

I offer private mentoring and consultancy to home gardeners, businesses, educational institutions, flower farmers and florists. Using over 20 years of experience in garden design, planting, planning and project management, I consult in person on the plots, via zoom, come to your home or site. I specialise in creative solutions for events, experiences, planning, project managing and design. Essentially helping you utilise your own resources and skills to create what you want to do.

This can be a one off session in the studio and gardens, across the year or on zoom.
