Festive Entertaining with Edible Flowers

The Christmas celebrations are near, so let’s get together to create something delicious and festive with floral flair this year.

At this tempting and tasty workshop with Linda Brennan from Ecobotanica, you’ll create a delightful assembly of vegetarian finger foods with edible flowers as their fragrant and flavourful focus. You’ll love making your own mocktail with floral cordials and mixers, and once we’ve assembled our offerings as glorious festive platters, we’ll tuck into our delights for morning tea. This workshop is bound to have your taste buds tingling and your Christmas cheer bubbling over.

Linda will provide recipes for each of the delights we make at this workshop so you can replicate them and wow your Christmas guests. Plus, we’ll have a selection of flowering plants and seeds available to purchase at the nursery so you can grow your own edible flowers at home.

Youth Offer

This workshop is also available for teenagers (12- to 17-year-olds) accompanied by mum, dad or an adult guardian who has also paid to attend the workshop.
