Flower Growing Workshops.
What the workshops are all about.
At Farlows’ Floriculture we are passionate about encouraging everyone to enjoy interaction with plants and nature.
Learning how to nurture our small piece of land here at Bells Creek and seeing it gradually evolve into a place which provides nourishment for our family, the animals and plants has been a rich, ongoing education.
We would love to share what we have learnt with you by providing year round workshops & information sessions.
The Workshops.
The following series of workshops have been designed to help you engage with whatever growing space you have available.
This can be as simple as container gardening, tending to indoor plants, growing your own cutting garden or respectful foraging to make a little arrangement in your home.
The emphasis is on learning together in small groups of no more than 10 people so that there is plenty of opportunity to get involved and have your questions answered.
