Hutton Wandesley Stables North Yorkshire
During the dark winter months I like to plan ahead to the summer so I’ve recently launched my three day/two night floral retreat at Hutton Wandesley Stables .
During this enriching floral retreat we’ll delve in to the art of floral photography and design, crafting exquisite table centrepieces, urn arrangements and bouquets. You will have the opportunity to explore colour, design, styling and composition. We’ll capture it all through photography and even a botanical art class. I will be photographing throughout the retreat so you will take away captivating imagery for your own use. You can read about creating floral portraits here
The Walled Garden
Sasha York has created a beautiful space within the walled garden for us to develop and explore our creativity. In just three years she has created a garden of dreams featured on Gardeners world and in various publications. You can follow her garden advice and tips over on @sashinthegarden The garden, greenhouse and outside event barn will be ours exclusively to wander and enjoy throughout the retreat. We’ll have an abundance of seasonal flowers to choose from and we’ll have access to the cutting garden for extra stems.
Your Rooms
You will receive a warm welcome as you relax and recharge in your own, spacious room with en-suite bathroom. There is plenty of communal space to gather, connect and exchange ideas over supper and in the evenings with fellow retreat guests.
What to expect
This is a 3 full day-2 night retreat run by me with guest teachers for some of the classes. I am delighted to welcome Claire Sutton of Fig and Fern Floral Design to teach a large urn design class. Claire’s love of sustainable, garden led design aligns with my own and she will guide you through making your own seasonal arrangement. Additionally, there will be a relaxing art class led by botanical artist Sophie Roberts . No previous experience is necessary for any classes, just a love for flowers and a joy in expressing creativity. Places are strictly limited so that everyone can have 1:1 photography guidance and space to create during the retreat.
