For the last decade we have had the privilege of bringing people together from all over the world, from ten to eighty years of age, making flower arrangements and witnessing the joy this brings. Our workshops are for anyone who loves flowers, from beginners and those exploring a new artistic medium to seasoned arrangers, gardeners and cut flower growers.

Read our teaching manifesto here.

We teach the core skills required to create a range of naturalistic arrangements. You will have the opportunity to experience the beauty and variety of garden flowers through their organic forms, textures and colours, to learn about the plants our flowers come from and to reject hierarchy, making arrangements with everything from buttercups to peonies. Whenever you choose to join us, you will be surrounded by extraordinary natural materials - blossoming and decadent, wild and weedy, edible, medicinal and scented.

We offer a range of one and two day workshops at the studio. Select a date below to find out what you’ll learn on the day!

To celebrate the launch of our first book we are so excited to be travelling to the USA in August 2026! Our first stop will be California, where we’ll be hosting a flower arranging workshop and lunch on 5 August 2026 under the espaliered fig trees of the Barndiva garden.

Following an introduction and talk, guests will watch a bouquet demonstration before arranging their own hand-tied composition of intricate flowers and grasses. After a delicious two course seated lunch we’ll re-group in the garden for a demonstration and practical session, creating naturalistic arrangements that speak of the season and surroundings. Each guest will leave with a signed copy of our book, a beautiful bespoke vase and their flowers.

Barndiva is a Healdsburg culinary destination blending fine dining, art, and community in the heart of Sonoma. As a renowned farm-to-table restaurant and event venue, seasonal flower arrangements are integral to the atmosphere of the rooms and gardens. We’ll be drawing on the family’s knowledge of the local area, meeting and sourcing directly from fantastic local growers. It will be a dream come true to experience the incredible produce Sonoma County has to offer and to share this experience with our flower friends across the pond!

“Seasonality is the lodestar of our ingredient and technique driven kitchens. For 19 years we have explored the extraordinary food-sheds of Sonoma and Mendocino Counties seeking out farmers and artisan producers who believe as we do that truly nourishing food experiences start in the soil, the vineyard, the field. Food and drink are a direct reflection of the passion of all who produce them.” Barndiva

After California we’ll be travelling to New York and heading north to the Hudson Valley, hosting two flower arranging workshops and lunches on 20 and 21 August 2026 at the historic Stissing House in Pine Plains. Built in 1782, Stissing House is one of the oldest taverns in America and has played host to feasts for generations. In 2022, Clare de Boer took over as chef/proprietor.

“Like many transplants to the region, the English-born de Boer is struck by the Hudson Valley’s seasons. ‘You feel the intensity here—everywhere else is seasonal-light, but here you get spring whiplash, summer intensity, all-consuming fall, and then, hibernation.’ The menu is a dynamic reflection of those natural cycles.” Chronogram

Starting with tea, coffee and a country breakfast we’ll be kicking off with an introductory talk followed by a seasonal bouquet demonstration and arranging session using late summer materials gathered from the local area. After a delicious Stissing House feast we’ll re-group for a further demonstration and practical session, creating naturalistic arrangements that speak of the season and surroundings. Each guest will leave with a signed copy of our book, a beautiful bespoke vase and their flowers.
