Flower Farming Experience

Do you love being around flowers and wonder what it might be like to be a flower farmer?

We will tailor the session to suit you but it will usually include:

  • Seasonal tips on growing cut flowers - the best varieties to grow, how to grow them and when to cut and condition them

  • Advice on planning and managing a flower patch

  • Practical advice on nature friendly gardening and sustainable floristry

  • Trying a range of flower farming tasks appropriate to the season, which may include planting out, sowing seeds, weeding, dead-heading and harvesting flowers.

  • Cutting a mixed bucket of flowers to take home

On this one-to-one Flower Farming Experience you will spend some quality time with us amongst the flowers and nature on our flower patch, trying many aspects of growing flowers for a living.

This Flower Farming Experience is also a perfect gift for a flower lover!
