Garden Bouquet Workshop at Lake View House

Join Cassie Douglas of Indigo Rose Farm for a garden bouquet workshop, where you will create your own stunning garden bouquet to take home, learn about harvesting and conditioning seasonal garden flowers and so much more.

Indigo Rose Farm is passionate about fragrant roses and sustainability. They grow fragrant garden roses alongside hardy perennials and annuals in healthy soils, using organic and regenerative farming practices. Their floristry style is evocative of bouquets picked while wandering around a country garden with friends or family. Bouquets full of flowers that are the best in the garden on the day, flowers that you can still feel the life of the garden in, still hear the buzz of the bees collecting pollen only moments before picking. To complement their beautiful flowers, Indigo Rose Farm only use sustainable floristry practices, and all bouquets are 100% compostable, no single use plastics.

• Sustainable flower farming and floristry
