with Eiddwen Thomas

The Summer workshop is part of a seasonal four part series on Grow Your Own Cut Flower Garden. Each class can be taken on its own or as part of the series. In the glorious month of June you will learn about what can be cut now from your garden. The instructor will be talking about roses and peonies along with other flowers for cutting. Participants are also invited to bring examples of what is presently blooming in their own gardens for group discussion. This workshop will also focus on what you can be starting now for glorious blooms next year in your garden. This is a great opportunity to get together with like minded people who are passionate about beautiful flowers! The instructor, Eiddwen Thomas of Cartref Gardens is a flower farmer/floral designer who has a small garden, less than an acre, where she has grown flowers commercially for 15 years – www.cartrefgardens.ca
