12th August, 2023 ~ Growing, drying & creating with forever flowers

12th August

Here on the farm we grow many different varieties of flowers to dry and create wreaths, bouquets and weddings with our own grown. We don't use bleach, dye or spray paints on our flowers, all grown and dried for their own natural beauty.

Join us on the farm and learn from our expert Sharon Hadden about the full process from seed to harvest, Sharon for some years had her own dry flower farm in Reydon, and has spent a few growing seasons with us, successfully harvesting a healthy supply of everlastings.

If you would like to learn how to create with dried flowers, then our resident dried flower designer Hannah, will talk you through the basic mechanics of using dried and how to make beautiful creations.
