Garden to Vase
Flower Hobby Workshop
Pick Your Flowers from the Garden!
Springtime upgrade for Hobby Workshops
Those of you who know me from some time, know that I’ve always used garden flowers in my arrangements for years.
Now, I open my garden for my workshop, so you can take fresh flowers from the beds and use them in your arrangements.
If you’ve always wanted to know what it feels like to use garden flowers for an arrangement, come and find out for yourself!
Why Garden to Vase

I know that not everybody has a garden space. Still, I want to share the virtual cycle of growing flowers and then crafting with flowers because this is one of the most perfect way to love nature, love art and love yourself. To experience it will perhaps trigger you to grow pot plants or dream of your garden in the future!
-
First of all it’s really fun and romantic. But if you are keen on selecting the right flower combination in order to arrange a certain look, it takes a lot of thinking and visualizing.
This part of floristry isn’t always taught. So here, I offer you the chance to try.
-
At first, you might feel a bit uncomfortable as home grown flowers can be more unruly - they are not all in the same shape and height nor are they all stick-straight. There are weirdly shaped ones, impossibly curvy ones and bug-eaten ones as well. But using these will naturally give your arrangement a garden-look, or much more loose and natrual look.
And thus without trying very hard, you will experience a new style that you’ve not really done before.

Garden to Vase Flower Workshop
Using garden flowers, we will practice different techniques on different dates.
Everything will be provided. You only need to think about how to carry your work home.
If you bring a car, it’s good idea to have a box or a crate in which you can set your arrangement so that it won’t topple while you drive.
If you are using ublic transport, it’s good to bring a waterproof shopping bag with some cushioning so that it’s easy to carry.
