Kokedama Workshop: Make a Set of Three
Had an amazing time at this class with my mum and my nan (three generations make three Kokedama!). There was a great selection of plants available and I really enjoyed experimenting with three different sized Kokedama. Orla was a fantastic teacher and it was great to hear from Chris during the class as well! Pictured is an adorable photo of my nan with her little succulent Kokedama. Highly recommend this class!

Kokedama Workshop: Make a Set of Three
Merchant & Green is a lovely florist and gift shop. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable about their craft. The kokedama class was a fun, relaxing and easy class for my mum, daughter and myself to enjoy. Their plants are healthy and good value for our next attempt at home. Thanks x

Kokedama Workshop: Make a Set of Three
Chris is super knowledgeable who gave fantastic clear instructions. Everyone in the class left with three Kokedama‘s each all looking beautiful. Would definitely recommend this class.

The terrarium making class was so fun! I learned a lot, enough that I definitely feel like I could make one again on my own at home! The teacher was very knowledgeable, and the class was beautiful in an actual flower shop. He was even so kind as to provide us all with a hot beverage from the cafe next door, an excellent touch! I would highly recommend this terrarium class to anyone who has always wanted one. Because I am so thrilled to finally have one that I made on my own, which makes it even more special!

Wild Flower Arranging Workshop
A beautiful and welcoming venue at a flower shop. The teacher was friendly, accommodating, experienced in her craft and very helpful. It was a fun morning, learning a few things, with all the wildflowers provided. We each went home with a beautiful bouquet we have created, complete with wrapping paper and ribbon. A lovely experience to share with a friend or for yourself.

Orla was a fantastic teacher, very patient and knowledgeable. Merchant & Green was beautiful and cosy, and a great place to come together as a group and learn something new. We had a great selection of quality materials to build the terrarium. Thank you!

Kokedama Workshop: Make a Set of Three
I attended this course in yesterday with my daughter and I really enjoyed my time here it was such a great hands on course. The teacher was really knowledgeable, friendly and patient. Merchant and green was in a great easy to find location with plenty of parking in nearby streets. Such an amazing florist with some really beautiful products/ gift wear/gifts to purchase. I thought that the course was great value for money and am glad that I finally got to attend (covid made me postpone three times) I will even purchase an online course for my mum i enjoyed it so much. Would definitely recommend !

Really enjoyed this flower arrangement workshop with Chris. The flower intro part was really fun and I truly loved how Chris later taught us about different bouquet-making techniques! Very practical.

Another fabulous workshop at Merchant & Green. Thank you to Chris & the friendly & knowledgeable team for a wonderful creative morning in the beautiful M&G studio. Lots of guidance & floristry tips on how to create our wreaths plus a beautiful array of floral goodies & greenery to suit whichever style of wreath we chose to make. Our teachers made sure that individual needs & styles were catered for. Great value & lots of fun in a lovely relaxed environment. Everyone made a beautiful Christmas wreath & a great time was had by all. Thanks so much Chris for another lovely workshop. Will definitely be back for more.

This was such a fun class to do with my mum and sister! Chris and the team at Merchant & Green are so friendly and provide you with so many different botanicals and foliage to create your wreath. You’re free to work away and make whatever you wish but they’re also willing to help at any stage. It was so nice to see everyone create something entirely unique with the same set of materials!

Wow, what a thoroughly enjoyable class. The team at Merchant & Green @ 674 Bourke St, Redfern were incredible, supportive, and encouraging. The workshop space was beautiful, full of natural light, the abundance of greenery and dried flowers provided suited a multitude of tastes you could tell it was thoughtfully selected by Chris and his team.
I would highly recommend this class for anyone willing to give it a go and have a lot of fun. Considering a plastic wreath in the shops will put you back over $100 there is little more gratifying than making your own decoration. The materials supplied are top-notch and everyone in the class produced unique stunning wreaths that matched their personality and home décor. 10/10
