Lost Flower Club
We're so pleased to be invited back to the fabulous Lost Kitchen Devon for another season of Lost Flower Club.
Join me for a monthly Wednesday evening of flowers, flowery talk and creativity and a chance to work with beautiful seasonal flowers and foliage…
Each session will consist of a talk through what’s flowering in the cutting garden and the hedgerow and look at the range of bulbs, annuals and perennials available at that time of year. There’ll be tips on cutting, conditioning and designing, as well as how to grow and arrange using sustainable methods.
Working with a selection of flowers from the Blue Shed field, Jan will demonstrate her loose, nature-led approach and you’ll create your own hand-tie or vase arrangement to take home….
You can book your place on any of the dates here:
