Growing

Our extensive cutting gardens offer an invaluable resource to help you learn how to grow cut flowers, either for your own garden or on a larger scale. Practical sessions combined with Rachel and Ashley’s insight will give you the skills you need to plant your own plot for a continual supply of home-grown arrangements. For a cutting patch in your back garden, see Grow Your Own Cut Flowers.

If you dream of making a living from what you love, then then our flower farming courses will give you the start you need to make your dream a reality. They cover everything from how and what to grow to where to find a market for your cut flowers, as well as periodic masterclasses on specific topics.  Rachel and Ashley will teach you how to create a thriving floricultural business.

You’ll go home with armfuls of flowers and a head full of know-how to make your garden grow. Our courses can be bought as gifts and we can send a card out to you or the lucky recipient.
