Eight afternoons at the farm

Spring
The fields wake slowly on the island, and May is mostly bulbs & branches. It suits a low, quiet centerpiece.

WORKSHOP NOTES
Good to know
-
No. Every workshop is taught from the beginning, and the intensives move at the group's pace. Seasoned growers and florists come too, and leave with new techniques.
-
Wear closed-toe shoes and clothes that can get wet or stained. Bring a sun hat in summer and layers in autumn. We provide tools, but you're welcome to bring your own snips.
-
We go ahead rain or shine. The design part takes place under the barn eaves. If there's a storm warning, we'll text you the day before and move you to another date.
-
Half-day workshops include tea and a farm snack. Both two-day intensives include lunch made with farm produce and wood-fired pizza. Tell us about any dietary needs when you book.
-
We give a full refund up to 14 days before the workshop. After that we can't refund, but you can send a friend in your place or switch to another date if there's room.
-
Bookings of up to four people can be made online. For six or more, or a private session for a party or team, please get in touch and we'll plan a date.
-
Yes. You can buy a gift certificate for any workshop online. It can be used on any date within the year.
-
At the Flower Fields, 160 Hummock Pond Rd. Entrance is on the Bartlett Farm Rd, just before Cisco Brewery, and look for the workshop sign. There is parking on the grass.
-
The barn and design tables are reachable on level ground. The field walk is on uneven grass. Let us know your needs and we'll adapt the morning for you.
-
Depending on the workshop, ages 12 and up are welcome with a booked place and an adult. Younger children can't attend, because of the tools and the pace.
