Immerse Yourself in Nature’s Beauty
Join us for a day of floristry magic, led by Treea Cracknell (the London Flower Farmer) and Anna Day (the Flower Appreciation Society), in the heart of London Flower Farmer’s stunning flower field in East London. Surrounded by nature, you'll learn the essential skills of growing, cutting, conditioning, and arranging flowers directly from the field—perfect for home use or to help you take the first step toward working as a florist or flower grower.
We’ll begin with a warm welcome and a guided tour of the field, where you’ll learn essential techniques for cutting and conditioning flowers. You’ll then head out to the field to pick your own seasonal blooms, selecting the perfect flowers for your arrangements.
Next, we’ll gather for a demonstration on creating an ikebana-inspired arrangement in a bowl vase. You’ll discover the art of balance and design, and have the chance to photograph your unique creation.
Afterward, you’ll have time to enjoy a relaxing lunch—either bringing your own or explore nearby cafes.
In the afternoon, Treea will share her expert knowledge on what to grow and how to start your own flower-growing journey. This informative session will inspire you to take the next step in your floristry and gardening adventures.
You’ll then have a go creating your own hand-tied bouquet, using the flowers you picked earlier in the day. Learn how to arrange with balance, colour, and texture, and craft a beautiful bouquet to take home.
We’ll finish the day with tea and home made cake.
Leave the workshop feeling inspired, with your floral creations in hand and newfound floristry skills to enjoy for years to come.
