Floral Retreat At Howe Hill Flowers
SOLD OUT
Join Flicky Howe, Howe Hill Flowers, at her West Cork cutting gardens and design studio for an immersive, one day floral experience.
The day begins with a relaxed tour of the gardens, followed by Flicky demonstrating a centrepiece design using all homegrown ingredients.
Participants are then invited to venture into the gardens to gather their own materials to design with. Flicky will be on hand to guide with materials selection and to advise how best to cut and condition each item.
Ingredients will rest and drink up water in the studio while participants enjoy a locally sourced picnic style lunch!
After lunch, participants will design and create their own centrepieces using the ingredients they gathered earlier.
Kate Bean (Kate Bean Photography) will join the group to captured images of particpants in creative mode, and afterwards photograph each design. The photos, once edited, will be available for participants to use on their own social media, websites or promotion material.
