Book all three online festive demos here. The demos included in this bundle are as follows:
The Christmas Willow Wreath Demo
Join Georgie as she demonstrates exactly how to make the perfect willow wreath.
Watch the demo and be inspired to create your own wreath base, which can be a gorgeous circle to hang on the wall or door all year round, and then learn to make a garland which in this case will be attached to the wreath but is a skill you can use to create garlanding for your door or table any time of the year.
The Mossed Wreath for Christmas Demo
Join Georgie as she shows you a clever and efficient way to make a luxurious, fully mossed wreath.
She’ll show you how you can source and forage material from your own garden. Then, step by step, she demonstrates how to create a twig base, how to moss your base, and using no wire, how to bind in a glorious mix of stems she will have cut that day from her own garden inspiring you to go and forage from yours.
The Christmas Tablescape Demo
Join flower farmer and florist Georgie Newbery for this lovely end of year session designed to inspire you to get out in your garden or down to the flower market and have some fun creating gorgeous arrangements for your Christmas season table.
With lots of twiggery pokery, seasonal foliage, dried flowers and seasonal fresh flowers from her Cornish colleagues, Georgie will give you all kinds of clever ideas and know-how so that your Christmas table will have real wow-factor.
Why do a workshop or demo with Georgie Newbery of Common Farm Flowers?
Georgie Newbery has been building her small business growing flowers for sale and creating floristry with material she’s grown on the farm since 2010. She is a Gold Medal Winner at RHS Chelsea, a Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Floristry Judge, RHS dahlia trials committee member, and Garden Media Guild New Talent Award Judge. She's also the Joint External Chair for Flowers from the Farm.
Georgie does not see other flower farmers and florists as competition, but rather as potential colleagues and collaborators. Georgie knows that it is in her interest to teach her students everything she knows. And she spends a great deal of time talking to other flower farmers and small business owners and learning as much as she can around the subject of running small businesses and farming gardens and small acreage.
There are no secrets held back from you at a Common Farm Flowers masterclass.
