Whether you’re keen to build your confidence or simply enjoy flowers in good company, All About Flowers is a lovely way to learn, share, and be inspired.

In our August Meeting we are going to make we will enjoy making a Spring flower bowl to celebrate all the delicate blooms.  We will start by talking through some helpful hints on getting the most out of this seasons cut flowers and share growing tips, before a short demonstration.

What to expect: A hands on making session with Spring flowers. - Chicken wire and pot tape will be provided, $5 koha person.

A selection of Spring flowers cut the day before and given a good drink of water over night, blossom branches, delicate/feathery foliage all approx 30cm long/some can be shorter.
