One of the special joys of growing a country garden filled with heirloom roses is sharing the beauty of these lovely flowers.
So our main focus and purpose for the workshops is to develop flower-craft workshops that bring healing for participants who are experiencing a difficult season in their lives.
Or perhaps they are going through a very busy time where there is little opportunity for self-nurturing. For this reason our workshops are suited to young mums who feel as though they are constantly giving out and looking after others, with no time for themselves.
A recent workshop was popular with a group of young mums where we provided childcare for their toddlers. Then our young mums were able to spend two hours focusing on doing nothing more than putting together their own creations using foraged foliage and flowers and of course, our heirloom roses.
And after the posies had been created there were proud displays and photo sessions of their lovely and very individual creations.
Our next flower-craft workshop is our Healing Workshop - Beauty for Ashes which is fully booked. Our inspiration for this Healing Workshop is Julia Clements, the post WWII florist who devoted her life to bringing joy to women all over the world who had suffered loss and grief. More on that in the next post.
Until then, take a little time to notice the sights and smells of the natural world, maybe even smell a flower or two every day!!
