I love growing flowers and have been doing it for about 15 years now… I have SO much to tell you and the main thing is you do not need a big space atall… in the morning we will discuss:

• The ideal growing conditions -and how to deal with the less than ideal ones…
• How to utilise all your available space-however small
• The difference between Perennials, Annuals, Shrubs, Hardy/Half Hardy and Tender and all those other words…
• What to grow that’s best for cutting and using in floristry
• How to support, feed, water and cut properly
• Where to buy your seeds, tubers, bulbs etc
• When to sow, plant out etc
• How to source and use the flower farmers

You will also have some time just to have a think about your space, look at the (many) books I have here on growing and to ask any questions etc so you feel confident going forward.

In the afternoon we will create a bouquet with beautiful, seasonal blooms from a local flower farmer.

Please bring a packed lunch. All materials are provided.
