Beautifully British. Wonderfully Wild.
There’s something quite irresistible about an English country garden.
Flowers tumbling into one another, delicate stems dancing above blowsy blooms, unexpected pops of colour, wispy grasses and foliage allowed to wander exactly where they want to.
Relaxed, romantic and just a little bit wild — it’s a look we absolutely love at Mad Lilies.
Join us for our English Country Garden Flower Arranging Workshop in Surrey , a wonderfully creative two-hour floristry experience celebrating the colour, movement and glorious abundance of a garden in full bloom.
Hosted in The Gathering Room at Mad Lilies in Banstead , this relaxed, hands-on flower arranging workshop will introduce you to the professional floristry techniques behind creating a natural, garden-inspired vase arrangement — one that feels wonderfully effortless but is, of course, rather cleverly considered.
Whether you're completely new to flower arranging or looking to build on existing floristry skills, you'll spend the session surrounded by beautiful seasonal flowers, learning from our experienced florists before creating your own English country garden vase arrangement to take home and enjoy.
What You'll Learn
Working with a generous selection of premium seasonal flowers, foliage, grasses and textural ingredients, you'll learn how to build a loose, beautifully balanced arrangement directly into a vase.
During this Surrey floristry workshop , you'll discover:
- How to condition and prepare your flowers so they last beautifully
- How to choose and combine colour, texture, shape and form
- How to create structure within a vase to support your flowers naturally
- How to establish the shape and proportions of your arrangement
- How to use different stem heights to create movement, rhythm and that wonderfully relaxed, garden-gathered feel
- How to work with foliage, wispy stems and textural ingredients to add depth and interest
- How to achieve the seemingly effortless Mad Lilies English country garden style
Throughout the session, our experienced florists will share plenty of professional tips and tricks — including how to look at the flowers you have available and decide what goes where and, importantly, why .
Because this isn't about rigid rules or creating something perfectly symmetrical.
Quite the opposite.
It's about allowing flowers to retain their natural character, embracing the bend of a stem or the turn of a flower head and learning how to bring everything together into something beautifully balanced, abundant and unmistakably yours.
What's Included
Everything you need for your flower arranging class is provided:
- A generous selection of premium seasonal flowers, foliage and textural ingredients
- Your vase, which is yours to take home
- All floristry tools and materials
- Use of a Mad Lilies apron throughout the workshop
- Two hours of expert tuition from our experienced florists
- Refreshments to enjoy while you create
- 10% off in the Mad Lilies shop on the day
You'll leave with your finished English Country Garden vase arrangement , together with the skills and confidence to recreate the look at home using flowers from the florist, flower market or even your own garden.
