Do you dream of having a flower garden at home that is beautiful and provides a bounty of blooms to cut from all season long?
Perhaps you’re not sure of what style of garden you want or how to get started, or maybe you feel overwhelmed by choices at the garden centre and confused by compost, complicated soil science and different flower varieties?
Join Emma, Earthenry's head gardener and farmer/florist as she breaks down her process for creating a new flower garden into easy-to-understand steps.
This workshop is hands-on too, as we create a new bed together so you can 'learn by doing' and easily replicate this at home.
The workshop will cover:

What to think about before you start.
