Dahlia season is in full swing!
Marking the late summer & early autumn vibe.
This week’s workshops are focusing on using different types & shapes of local grown Dahlias, teamed up with lots of interesting texture from flowers, seed pods and foliage.

Welcome to HSFD studio
Having recently finished redecorating the studio here’s a few photos of my creative space for floral designs.
A large bench in the middle is where the creativity starts to happen, with a good view of the demonstration area and opportunity to chat, with guidance, fun & laughter.
There’s space for flower & foliage display, shelves with lots of containers, vases and books (call me old fashioned but you can’t beat turning over pages for inspiration. There’s a flower prep area with large sink and the all-important tea and coffee station.
The window views onto my back garden for nature inspiration.
All set in a beautiful location by the village green & pond and not forgetting the local tearoom for lunchtime refreshments and cake of course!
Come and be creative in one of my workshops.
