Join flower farmer and florist Georgie Newbery for this lovely end of year session designed to inspire you to get out in your garden or down to the flower market and have some fun creating gorgeous arrangements for your Christmas season table.
With lots of twiggery pokery, seasonal foliage, dried flowers and seasonal fresh flowers from her Cornish colleagues, Georgie will give you all kinds of clever ideas and know-how so that your Christmas table will have real wow-factor.
All the arrangements she makes are without floral foam and are fully compostable with re-usable mechanics which are easy to make and will come in useful for you again throughout the year.
By the end of the session there will be a full table designed and created and you will be inspired and given the skills to create a wonderful Christmas tablescape yourself.
No previous floristry experience required.
We offer two other Christmas demos - the Christmas Willow Wreath Demo and the The Mossed Wreath for Christmas Demo. If you'd like to do all three, book the trio of demos here.
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.
