Something Borrowed Flowers

Something Borrowed is about sustainably growing, harvesting and preserving a range of ornamental and wild flowers in the heart of the Cotswolds, England.

Growing and Drying Dahlias

April 16th, 2022

8 am PST

$37

Everything is dried naturally in the loftier spaces of my 18th century farmhouse home to be used in garden inspired, playful designs and installations.

 I try to keep my work seasonal and contemporary, away from that 1970's vibe of dried flowers that last for 30 years, only 'dusted' occasionally with a hairdryer. This is bringing the outside in, for contemporary decoration and design using what's around you.

I will teach you all about growing and drying dahlias in this workshop.
