Woodland tabletop garden workshop by The Northern Flower Garden

Join florist Debbie from The Northern Flower Garden for a new workshop, inspired by Crook Hall Gardens.

  • Booking essential

Step into the charm of a woodland retreat with Debbie from The Northern Flower Garden at her new Woodland Tabletop Garden Workshop, inspired by the surroundings of Crook Hall Gardens.

In this hands-on session, you’ll create a planted design for your home, featuring lush ferns, trailing ivy, and other amazing greenery, artfully arranged with bark, twigs, moss, pinecones, and woodland-inspired decorative touches.

Because you'll be working with living plants, your creation will be a lasting addition to your space, but it’s also easy to deconstruct and refresh whenever you fancy a change.

Along the way, you’ll learn tips for designing with planted materials, exploring texture, layering, and natural composition to bring a touch of the woodland indoors.

Whether you’re new to planting or just looking for a creative escape, this workshop is designed to be welcoming and inspiring, perfect for anyone who loves nature and wants to bring a little of it home.

Your visit includes a drink, a baked treat and entry to Crook Hall Gardens, so take advantage of a peaceful walk around the gardens and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the season.
