Autumn Winter Classes & Courses

We are hosting a number of lovely classes this Autumn & Winter featuring our own flowers and foliage, a talk or demo and a creative session in our wonderful Barn where you will make something beautiful to take home.

Autumn & Winter is one of the most beautiful times of year up here and one in which we seriously indulge all our seasonal enthusiasms, dahlias, cosmos, sunflowers, fruits and vegetables in Autumn. Berries, evergreen foliage, dried flowers and early flowering bulbs in Winter.

Our courses make wonderful gifts - for yourself or another - come and join a class, or gather a group of friends and we will make a workshop especially for you. 

Dahlia Masterclass

Wednesday 16th October

A deep delve into one of the most adored and invaluable flowers of Autumn, the Dahlia. 

In our Dahlia Masterclass we look at how we grow, take cuttings and divide Dahlia tubers; discuss lifting versus mulching tubers overwinter; consider our favourite varieties to use for events and longer lasting arrangements and why and how we use them; how best to pick and condition these beautiful stems and our list of the best suppliers.

We will begin with a walk and talk around our dahlia field on the farm before settling down inside our beautiful Barn for a detailed demonstration of arranging Dahlias into a large vessel. You will then have a chance to make a beautiful arrangement of your own and have a play with our props and background fabrics to take some still life photos of your work before taking your arrangement home.

All materials, tools, a beautiful vessel to keep and mid morning refreshments and Hortus Poeticus Notes will be provided. 

Numbers are limited on this bespoke course so we recommend booking early. 

9.30am - 1pm.
