Spring Season- Naturalistic Centrepiece Arrangement- Sunday 2nd November
Workshop date- Sunday 2nd November from 10:30am to 1:30pm.
1030 West Coast Rd Warkworth
Centrepieces are one of the most fun and exciting arrangements to make.
Filled with spring flowers, there’s an abundance of flowers and colours on offer!
Our barn will be full with a selection of flowers, freshly harvested from our fields and sourced from local flower growers—bursting with colour, texture, and fragrance.
The morning will start with a tour of the three flower fields showing you how and where our flowers are grown in a regenerative and sustainable way.
Once the tour is finished we’ll return to the barn and focus on designing our centrepiece. Our arrangements are constructed using sustainable mechanics such as chicken wire and floral frogs—no floral foam. Each arrangement will be built with layers of structure and movement, capturing the wild, fresh atmosphere of spring.
I will begin with a demonstration, sharing my approach to designing naturalistic arrangements. All materials—including vases, wire, and frogs—will be provided for you to use during the session and to take home afterwards.
You’ll be guided step-by-step in layering seasonal foliage and blooms to create structure, movement, and a beautifully balanced composition. From herbs to flowers to grasses, nothing is off limits and all are meant to expand your horizons on what can be used when creating arrangements. Following the demo, you’ll have the freedom to craft your own unique arrangement, with me on hand to answer questions and offer support throughout.
Centerpiece flower arrangements are among our most versatile and favourite creations to make. Perfect for the middle of a table, weddings, events, or just about any setting, they offer a beautiful visual impact without taking up too much space. They're easy to create and simple to move around.
One of the great aspects of making a Centerpiece is being able to step back and view it from every angle—turning it slowly on a lazy Susan as you thoughtfully build your arrangement, layer by layer.
Once arrangements are complete, we’ll share a relaxed light lunch together.
This workshop is suitable for anyone who loves flowers! From beginners to those wanting to expand their creativity.
Our farm is situated 50 minutes north of Auckland central and only 30 minutes from Matakana and the East Coast.
Limited to 10 guests to ensure a relaxed and personal experience. Early booking is recommended.
I really look forward to meeting and spending time with you all!
