Create a low bowl centre piece
and enjoy a tour of
Ashwell Flowers flower farm - £75.
Dates: Sunday 18th May & 8th June 2025
Time: 2.30 - 5pm
Join us for a seasonal celebration of British flowers at beautiful Ashwell Flower Farm.
We start by exploring Ashwell Flower's gorgeous cutting garden with Barbara Lohoar who runs Ashwell Flowers. She'll talk you through her journey cultivating British blooms and share tips on growing cut flowers and harvesting them correctly for your enjoyment.
Floral Designer Gayle Corbett will then demonstrate and guide you through creating your own natural, garden-style low-bowl arrangement focusing on texture, form and style using Ashwell Flowers. The floral bowl will be yours to keep.
We'll then style the table using your centre pieces, take photographs and provide tips on photographing flowers and capturing your creation. Finally, we’ll sit down for a glass of bubbles to reflect on the day and enjoy your seasonal arrangements before you take them home.
Refreshments and all practical materials and flowers will be provided. The workshop will last around two and a half hours - three hours.
Dates as above. Private groups can also be accommodated - contact me to discuss.

Interested in taking a peek behind the scenes of an artisan flower farm? Come and see how we grow our lovely flowers. We’re opening on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th August 2021 as part of the ‘Flower Farmers’ nationwide open flower farm festival (organised by the growers’ association, Flowers from the Farm of which we are a proud member).
There will be a short guided tour plus the opportunity to wander and look at it all and ask questions over a cuppa. Beautiful Ashwell Flower Farm is based in the wonderful medieval village of Ashwell on the north Hertfordshire border with Bedfordshire and Cambridge – why not make a day of it.
