2024 Scotland Private Floral Workshops
Our floral design classes and demonstrations are led by leading Scottish floral designers. We assemble a specially selected team of instructors and flower experiences for each tour. Our instructors include:
- PYRUS: A botanical studio and Victorian walled cut flower garden, PYRUS was founded by Fiona Inglis and Natalya Ayers in 2011 with the intention to grow unusual, scented blooms that were hard to source in Britain. Now a fully developed 2.5 acre flower garden, PYRUS supplies local florists, wholesalers, retail markets and their own floral design studio. They are also a full-service wedding floral designer.
- Days of Dahlia: Founded by mother and daughter Louisina and Lauren, Days of Dahlia is a small flower farm and design studio committed to organic and sustainable flower farming. They specialize in classic, heirloom and cottage garden favorites along with rare, hard to find varieties. Days of Dahlia often holds workshops at their home studio and flower farm where they also provide full-service wedding and event design services.
- Hands Full of Flowers: Owned by Libby and Alice, Hands Full of Flowers is an artisan cutting garden and floristry studio in the Scottish Highlands. Inspired by the natural, wild beauty of the Highlands, Libby and Alice almost exclusively use flowers and foliage grown in their own garden for their retail and wedding designs.
- Workshop at Cambo Gardens: This floral design workshop will be held on the grounds of Cambo Gardens and led by a local floral designer to be announced.
