This hands-on workshop will give you advice on how to choose your plants to the best effect from a selection provided on the day; how to plant them, making the most of their colour and form; and offer tips on how to care for your completed arrangement once you have it at home, so it continues to bloom throughout the summer season.

Upon arrival our friendly reception staff will point you in the direction of the event, and the in-centre signage to look out for.
