Grow Your Own Cut Flowers – half day course
Join Heart of BS13 at their charity’s sustainable flower farm here at Hartcliffe City Farm for a starter course on growing your own cut flowers.
This workshop will equip you with the basic skills, knowledge and confidence start your own beautiful flower patch, whether on your windowsill, or in a yard or the garden at home.
It will include a practical introduction to:
- composting and healthy soil (including their Closed-Loop Composting programme)
- no-dig gardening
- seed-sowing
- what to grow
- identifying good and bad weeds
- identifying pests and diseases
- chemical-free growing techniques
- pricking out seedlings
- potting on plants
- supporting biodiversity
Clem, their florist, will also demonstrate cutting and conditioning techniques that will enhance flower growth and vase life, and guide you through the process of making a rustic flower posy, which you’ll wrap in biodegradable gift paper to take home.
You will leave with a starter pack of freshly-sown seeds trays, packs of seedling and multiple potted plants to kick-start your own flower garden.
