Following our successful August 2025 floral retreat we are delighted to open our garden gate and studio doors again for a limited few flower worshippers in 2026!

The day begins with a guided tour of our cutting gardens. Afterwards, while you sip on some freshly brewed tea and coffee, Flicky will demonstrate how she designs and creates a bowl centrepiece using beautiful homegrown flowers and foliage.

With a pail and snips in hand, attendees will then explore the gardens in search of ingredients for their own centrepiece designs. Flicky will be on hand throughout to advise in the cutting process.

While ingredients rest and drink, so will attendees! We will enjoy a beautiful, tapa’s style picnic of fresh, locally sourced delicious food, including handmade breads from Diva Bakery in Ballinspittle, organic salads, cheese’s and spreads from Gather in Ballinspittle, and an array of Rebecca’s Kitchen cakes and pastries will follow!

After lunch, attendee’s will spend the afternoon creating their own centrepiece designs, assisted by Flicky’s creative eye. Kate Bean Photography will join us to capture candid photos of attendee’s in creative mode, and afterwards take beautiful images of their work.

Local accomodation recommendations, plus eateries and sights list will be given to all booked attendees.
