🌷 Help us plan our 2027 flower workshops!

We’re starting to plan next year’s workshops at Garden Gate and we’d love your help.

One idea for spring is a Saturday flower bowl workshop, using seasonal flowers grown here at the garden - think tulips, anemones and other spring loveliness. 🌷

You’d learn how to create your own seasonal bowl arrangement and take home your finished flowers, the bowl and your reusable flower frog, so you can make more arrangements at home.

We’d love to know:

🌷 Would you be interested in a workshop like this?

🌷 What would you expect to pay for a 2–2½ hour workshop, including tuition, flowers, bowl and your reusable flower frog - a small metal pin holder that sits in the bowl and holds your flowers in place

A. £25-£35
B. £35-£45
C. £45–£50
D. £50+

🌷 Would you be interested in this as a Mother’s Day workshop or gift?

Tell us in the comments 👇 your answers will help us shape our 2027 programme. And sharing this post with your network or anyone specific who you know may be interested is super helpful too!

💌 Want to be first to hear about new workshop dates?
DM us your email address and we’ll add you to our workshop mailing list.

And if there’s another (flower) workshop you’d love to see at The Garden Gate Project, tell us that too! 🌿
