Wildflower Workshop

 By Chris R.

 

 

On a lovely September Saturday, Sanctuary volunteer and florist extraordinaire Emma ran our first ‘Make a Foraged Wildflower Bouquet’ workshop. The morning was a great success with the group creating some incredible bunches to take home and enjoy. Collected from the Sanctuary gardens, plant species included grevillea, hakea, eucalypt and acacia, all flowering prolifically at this time of year.

Emma provided a great demonstration of flower arranging and helped participants in putting together their floral artworks. The event concluded with a lovely vegan morning tea in the Sanctuary grounds – given the popularity of the workshop, we look forward to running more botanical events in the Valley soon!
