IN THE GARDEN

Garden Design Workshop

​Tues 6-8pm, starts 7 August, 4 weeks $75
​What do you want from your garden? Does your garden need to accommodate children, pets, entertaining? Do you just want a quiet peaceful space to sit and enjoy your surroundings? Our qualified landscape architect, Holly Nichol, will work with you providing inspiration and advice. Holly will critique your plan as it develops. Bring along a site or building plan and photos of the area(s) and/or inspiration. If you want a more accurate design on completion of the course it is recommended you have a one-on-one consultation with Holly prior to the first lesson (Holly is offering her services at a discounted rate).

Ikebana: Flower Arrangement
Sat 15 Sept 9am-11am 1 morning $65
Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrange-ment. The style is often minimalist and is not unlike a sculpture. Colour, line, form and func-tion are all considered to guide the construction of the arrangement. Ikebana is an ancient tradition that dates back to the 7th century and is an expression of nature. Learn the basics of this graceful art form using the Obara style of Ikebana with our tutor Satomi. All flowers and greenery will be provided together with a container/vase and kensan (flower frog) which you get to keep. You will leave the class with your own floral arrangement and the skills to replicate this at home.

Keeping Bees

If you grow your own veges and have your own fruit trees you realise how important honey bees are in this equation. Help a declining bee population plus enjoy the benefits of the garden being pollinated and harvesting your own honey. You have the choice of either a morning or an afternoon session.
