We will create a flower bowl using locally grown flowers. The morning will include a walk around the garden discussing and selecting stems and foliage to use in the bowl. The mechanics in the bowl are a pin frog and chicken wire - no floral foam. Bring on the dahlias!

Join Laurie McMillian – a professional gardener with over 25 years experience. She has extensive knowledge of plants and the conditions in which they flourish. The course will focus on how to create a beautiful planting display for your own garden borders. You will learn about colour, form and texture and how to apply these principles in your own garden border and select the correct plants. You are guaranteed to return home with lots of fabulous ideas on how to transform your borders to be full of beautiful plants that work harmoniously together and create a fabulous display through the seasons.

Capture the moment in the garden when the flowers are at their peak and celebrate British Flower Week with me. We can gather flowers and foliage and then create beautiful table centrepieces with them. The price includes the stone vase which is yours to take home and refill, inspired by your morning in the garden at Hamsey.

In the orchard there is a beautiful wild flower meadow. It starts flowering in May. We will walk around the garden and gather flowers and foliage to create our meadow inspired arrangements in a bowl from Emma Hilton Ceramics. The session will finish with photographing the bowls and capturing the moment in the garden.

We are opening the garden for you to come and enjoy, with a curated collection of floral makes, homewares, handmade baskets and jewellery. Limited tickets available.
