We've combined two of our popular flower farming workshops, to offer you the opportunity to book them both at a reduced cost.
This is an ideal combination of sessions for people who might be starting out on their flower farming career and are keen to plan meticulously before they get going, or for flower farmers who want to become much more efficient in the way they plan their patch and their year. Or you may be someone who is growing for pleasure and wants to make the most of the space and time you have to enjoy your hobby.
The workshops included in this package and dates are as follows. Please click the workshop name for full details of each workshop.
The Flower Farmer's Year Workshop
Bring your calendar to this online workshop and let flower farmer Georgie tell you the dates you need to put in your diary for a successful season growing flowers year on year.
Georgie puts all her growing dates firmly in the diary, and so long as she sticks to them, she will always have flowers. Without the diary she’d never get crops in the ground on time, and would find herself always running late.
The Design A Cut Flower Patch Workshop
Georgie will show you the essentials for creating a successful cut flower patch on this online workshop.
Find out how to cut the space up, how to create lush soil which your plants will love, what to plant and where, top tips for varieties and percentage use of space per kind of plant.
Why do a workshop or demo with Common Farm Flowers?
Georgie Newbery has been building her small business growing flowers for sale and creating floristry with material she’s grown on the farm since 2010. She is a Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Floristry Judge, RHS dahlia trials committee member, and Garden Media Guild New Talent Award Judge.
Georgie does not see other flower farmers and florists as competition, but rather as potential colleagues and collaborators. Georgie knows that it is in her interest to teach her students everything she knows. And she spends a great deal of time talking to other flower farmers and small business owners and learning as much as she can around the subject of running small businesses and farming gardens and small acreage.
There are no secrets held back from you at a Common Farm Flowers workshop.
