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.

When:  Saturday 26th April 10am – 2:30pm
Cost:  £65
(limited £10 spaces available for BS13 residents who are in receipt of means-tested benefits)
