the crafty gardeners
..a garden that always looks good,even from your window? ..flowers but would
like to learn to arrange them better? In 2015 we began The Crafty Gardeners
flower and garden school. Both myself, and my dear friend Michelle Wake who
sadly passed away in 2020, are award winning garden designers. We always dreamed
of creating workshops that offered people a way of expressing their creativity
and love of nature’s beauty, both outside or inside their home. And with The
Crafty Gardeners we could share our expertise, along with plenty of clever tips
on making gardens look amazing or turning a bunch of flowers into a fantastic
floral arrangement to appreciate at home. Our garden design workshops cover
everything from knowing which are bomb proof plants and how to create beautiful
borders to making the most of your garden with the best layout. The flower
arranging workshops teach you the techniques a florist would use to make
beautiful bouquets or wonderful displays and Christmas wreaths. What better way
to feel creative than by being in some of the most inspiring places in the South
West such as Bowood House and Gardens , Westonbirt Arboretum and The Walled
Garden at Mells. And you’ll have plenty of time to explore them afterwards as
our Workshops are half day or short full days – perfect for fitting around our
busy lives. Everything for your chosen workshop is included, such as a drawing
kit or flowers, foliage and equipment. Suitable for all levels of experience,
simply join me and a maximum of 10 others, where I’ll first show you what to do
before you have a go yourself, giving you all the time and space to let your
creativity grow.
