Spring Workshop Weekend
April 25–26, 2026
An intimate weekend of seasonal floral design and garden-inspired experiences
Spring is a fleeting and particularly beautiful moment in the Fleuris orchard garden. Tulips, ranunculus, butterfly ranunculus, and early seasonal blooms are at their peak, offering a richness of colour, movement, and texture.
This weekend is an invitation to slow down, create with your hands, and reconnect with flowers in a thoughtful, sustainable way — whether for a few hours or a full day immersed in the garden and studio.
Workshops are suitable for beginners and those with experience alike, with gentle guidance and plenty of room for personal expression.
“My arrangement was so different than anything I have created before!”
— BETH
I had the pleasure of attending a sustainable spring arrangement workshop at Fleuris Studio & Blooms recently... it was an absolute treat being immersed in the creativity and beauty of this space! Julie was welcoming and warm, sharing not only her incredible studio and garden but also her knowledge. I felt comfortable and yet encouraged to stretch myself and try new techniques which was my hope. It was a small group and we each created something unique and individual, a most enjoyable and inspiring experience.
It was such a treat to spend an afternoon with Julie. Touring her beautiful garden and seeing the flowers in situ was a wonderful way to begin our workshop — it gave me a fuller picture of the effort that goes into growing beautiful local flowers in a sustainable way. With her gentle manner and a clear step-by-step process, Julie taught us how to create arrangements that have movement, flow, and whimsy, and I so appreciate her commitment to the environment in all aspects of Fleuris.

“I hesitated at the price, but I'm glad I took the plunge!”
Would highly recommend one of her workshops! Julie shared her knowledge and skills of floral design with a relaxed approach. This allows you to access your own creativity with gentle guidance from a very talented designer.
Her orchard garden is so unique and every corner of the space offers something beautiful or interesting to rest your eyes on.

hey there!
When are your group floral design workshops?
Our floral design workshops are offered seasonally, in rhythm with what is growing in the orchard garden.
Bouquet and vase arrangement workshops are typically offered in spring and late summer, while wreath and botanical décor workshops take place in fall and winter. Each season brings its own focus and atmosphere.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many participants are in the groups?
Workshops are intentionally kept small to allow for personal guidance and a relaxed, meaningful experience.
Group sizes typically range from 4 to 8 participants, depending on the type of workshop, with some offerings designed for even more intimate groups.
Which flowers/botanical ingredients will we use?
All flowers and botanical elements are seasonal, sustainably grown, and locally sourced, with the majority coming directly from our orchard garden.
Ingredients are thoughtfully selected ahead of time based on what is at its most beautiful that week.
How often do you offer floral design workshops?
We offer a limited number of workshops each season, as they are carefully woven into the growing and design rhythm of the farm.
Because group sizes are small and dates are limited, workshops often fill quickly. Early booking is encouraged. Workshops are often grouped by season or weekend so guests travelling from out of town can enjoy more than one experience during their visit.
How much are the workshops?
These workshops are designed as intimate, immersive experiences rather than large classes. Pricing reflects the abundance of seasonal flowers, the care put into each detail, and the small group size that allows for hands-on guidance and connection. Individual workshop pricing is listed with each experience.
How long are the workshops?
Most workshops run 3 to 4 hours, either in the morning or afternoon.
This allows time to slow down, spend time in the garden, and create thoughtfully in the studio — without feeling rushed.
Do I need prior floral design experience?
No prior experience is required.
Workshops are designed to meet you where you are — whether you’re new to floral design or looking to refine your eye and technique. Guidance is offered step-by-step, with space for creativity and personal expression.Ingredients are thoughtfully selected ahead of time based on what is at its most beautiful that week.
Are workshops suitable as gifts?
Yes — workshops make a thoughtful gift for anyone who enjoys flowers, creativity, and meaningful experiences. Gift certificates are available when workshops are open for booking.
Over the course of our conversations, Julie taught me which vessels are most conducive to garden-inspired floral designs, how to use floral frogs, chicken wire pillows, and floral tape to stabilize designs.
She also taught me the names and varieties of local flowers.
And how her flower farm nourishes the environment by providing food and sanctuary to insects, bees, hummingbirds, and wildlife.
