Farmer–Florist Workshop: Working with Wildflowers

Discover the beauty and character of wildflowers in this hands-on workshop. You’ll create a front-facing vase arrangement using a mix of Australian natives and South African wildflowers, learning how to showcase the natural structure, movement, and texture of each stem. The result is a vibrant, layered display that celebrates the season and the unique qualities of the blooms.Workshops are held at our flower farm in Silvan, where flowers begin in the ground—not in a bucket. At Botaniculture, you’ll work with locally grown flowers, freshly picked from our farm or thoughtfully sourced from nearby growers, always naturally in season.We begin with a discussion on working with the natural palette of the season. You’ll explore how stems complement one another, how texture adds depth, and how to balance movement and form to create an arrangement that feels abundant yet effortless. Along the way, we share practical tips on conditioning stems, selecting flowers, and designing with sustainability in mind.By the end of the session, you’ll take home your own seasonal wildflower arrangement and leave with the confidence to work with textural, seasonal blooms in future designs.From the moment you arrive, everything is provided so you can focus on learning, creating, and connecting with the season.
