1:1 workshop with 2 nights stay in the Herefordshire countryside

If you want to come and escape to the countryside why not join Sabine for a 1:1 at her studio in Herefordshire and stay in her wonderful shepherd’s hut which is right next door.

Nestled in the orchard the shepherd’s hut is the perfect place to relax with it’s own bathroom and shower, underfloor heating, super comfortable bed, wifi and TV. Why not bring your partner too! You will arrive the day before your 1:1 leaving the stresses of the every day behind, so you can really enjoy learning and being creative.

The 1:1 is tailored to suit your needs, so whether you’re just starting out on your floral journey or you’re a more experienced florist this workshop is perfect for you.

Stunning images of your work will also be shared with you after the retreat and can be used to enhance your portfolio, social media and branding.

The cost includes all equipment, flowers, images, refreshments during the day, lunch and 2 nights stay in the shepherd’s hut.

Once payment is received we will contact you to arrange a mutually convenient date. If for any reason we can’t find a suitable date we will refund you in full.

A fully compostable casket spray, made with no foam and no wire, using simple, natural mechanics that keep the design lightweight and secure. With no water source, flower choice becomes critical: I rely on long-lasting varieties and evergreen foliages, often keeping the bulb attached on spring flowers giving them their own water source. Before leaving the studio, the entire piece is thoroughly sprayed and hessian is placed underneath to protect surfaces. It was encouraging to finally see a recent newspaper article drawing attention to the environmental impact of floral foam and plastic in funeral tributes, it feels important to keep demonstrating practical alternatives. This is not new territory — it’s something I started talking about over ten years ago after being shocked at the sheer scale of foam and plastic from crematoriums going to landfill. I wrote to key industry people along with journalists and the press and met with no response or with indifference. Ironically florists are now facing another challenge. With more people opting for simple funerals with little or no ceremony, we’re seeing a real reduction in flowers for funerals— something that directly affects florists’ livelihoods. And that feels really sad. Flowers are often the last tangible thing someone can do for a loved one they’ve lost. The act of choosing them, giving them, and seeing them placed goes far beyond decoration. Funeral flowers are not a modern habit — they are part of the grieving process and a tradition going back to Ancient Greece. Finding sustainable alternatives to traditional tributes isn’t just an environmental conversation. It’s about protecting a ritual, supporting our industry, and ensuring flowers continue to have a place at funerals. Step by step clips from the full tutorial on @blossomandprosper

You don’t always need expensive focal flowers — 
There are other ways to create an overall look that’s just as eye-catching. This clip is taken from my full tutorial on creating a foam-free glass vase design, where I explain the mechanics and the design process for this pretty elevated centrepiece. The full tutorial can be found in the Blossom & Prosper library. Want to join me? @blossomandprosper membership is only £12 a month and gives you access to a huge library of floristry tutorials, resources and recipes.

What are your thoughts on this rose? Does the size take something away from its beauty?
