Grow Your Own Cut Flowers – half day workshop
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 our 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, Heart of BS13’s 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.
Please bring a packed lunch. Tea, coffee & cake will be provided throughout the day.
