Mindful Flower Arranging

Oh dear, I seem to have forgotten about this blog, clearly I would make a terrible influencer! Now I have remembered I thought I would use the space to let you into a little secret.

Being a florist is wonderful, it's such a great way to spend my days.

There are of course jobs I am not too keen on, scrubbing stinky buckets, really really early starts, the time pressures, juggling the finances and way more paperwork than you'd imagine! BUT, unpacking each days fresh delivery, seeing a beautiful full flower stand, creating something special for people and hearing how much you love your flowers.

For a very long time I have hosted flower workshops, both at my old Netherton shop, and in a bigger way here at my Holmfirth studio. The one thing that strikes me more than anything about the workshops is how mindful they are, we are really 'in' the moment.

Learning a new skill, among other encouraging people, taking a few hours just for you, actually making, creating, something from raw materials is so satisfying. Sometimes I see a stunning arrangement someone has produced and say "YOU made that", their look of joy, surprise and peace is amazing and my most favourite part of the workshops.

Why not come along to one of my 2024 workshops to enjoy a few hours just for you. Head over to my webshop to see what's on offer in 2024.

Happy New Year All, Sam xx
