Springtime Vegetative Flower Workshop at Gibside Stables, Newcastle

Create with nature — a spring-inspired vegetative flower workshop

Springtime Vegetative Flower Workshop at Gibside Stables, Newcastle

Saturday 25th April, 11.30am

💥 Gibside Stables is approximately a 20-minute walk from the reception building and includes mixed terrain and a steep-incline, so we’d recommend arriving onsite at least 30 minutes before the workshop begins and wearing sturdy footwear.

Join us at Gibside for a hands-on vegetative flower arrangement workshop, where you’ll explore the principles of natural design using only spring flowers and seasonal materials. Inspired by the shapes, lines, and flow of the natural world, this workshop is a relaxed, creative way to connect with the season and your surroundings.

Learn how to arrange flowers and foliage freely while maintaining balance and harmony, and take home a stunning, nature-inspired arrangement to brighten your home. Perfect for beginners and experienced florists alike!

All materials are provided, along with refreshments provided by the National Trust. Just bring yourself plenty enthusiasm!

⏰ Duration: up to 2 hours.
