You are invited to join myself and Zoe at Field of Roses for an absolute dream workshop on November 7th and 8th 2026. Many years ago, before I began working with flowers Zoe was one of a small few from around the world that inspired me. Her flowers helped me to trust my vision of how I could create my own style of flowers. That there was a place for them, that people were longing for a more natural seasonal approach to flowers. Zoe continues to be an inspiration, and it is a long held dream to collaborate with her. And now it is coming true, and in the very peak of the first flush of roses! There could not be anything better or more wished for.

Before I go further, a note that the initial payment is for your deposit only. Full details are below, and a quick summary at the the end.

I have a feeling you will already understand how very special this is, a collaboration that brings the very best of garden flowers in THE perfect moment of the flower season. And in a dream location, with Zoe who I am certain you know has led the way for many other flower lovers here in New Zealand. Truly this will be magic.

These workshop days are to dedicate yourself to nurturing your creativity. To allow inspiration to flow, to feel supported and guided into allowing the joy of flowers to flow into you. They are about bringing together the most inspiring flowers and people, immersing ourselves in the creativity that will come from this magical gathering. All that is required for this workshop is a love of flowers. No previous experience is needed, and we will be devoting as much personal time with each guest as is possible.

This is a full two day workshop, held at the Field of Roses near Gisborne. A dream location, with dream flowers! On the Saturday morning you will arrive to the most sumptuous selection of flowers prepared for you to gather your palette from. First though, we will explore the magic of November in the field. Honestly it will be peak romance and softness, and we will be encouraged to pick a few special stems to add to what is already prepared. Imagine such beauty surrounding us!

We will then immerse ourselves in making the most sumptous vase arrangements, beginning with my demonstration. I (and you) will have the most divine selection of flowers to work with, even for me this will be something incredibly special! However, this will also be focused on also showing you how I create vase arrangements using less if needed. Not that we will need to for this. The same principles apply, so you will be able to take what you learn and know how to continue on with your practice later. After my demonstration, you will create your own sumptuous vase arrangement with flowers that can not help but inspire you. And I will be close by offering as much or as little guidance as you wish for. This day also includes a beautiful shared lunch, gathered together in our new friendship.

Sunday brings day two and learning the art of making hand tied bouquets with Zoe. She will demonstrate how to create the most romantic soft flowers ever, the ones that we all dream of. Those that inspire us all, with roses and treasures of this peak moment in the season. Zoe will show us how she creates shape, movement and layers of detail in her bouquets. She will guide us with how she chooses her palette, what she is looking for in forms and colours. Then after a delicious shared lunch you will craft your own dream rose bouquet while being gently encouraged and guided. The flowers you make will be photographed throughout the weekend, and edited high resolution photos will be shared with you later. These will be yours to keep, purely for the joy, or for your portfolio or social media too.

The workshop weekend is NZ$975pp total, with an initial (non refundable) deposit of NZ$400pp to reserve your place. The remainder will be invoiced a month before. The workshop includes two full days of tuition, the most dreamy flowers, a handcrafted ceramic vase made especially for guests of this workshop, a kenzan flower pin and other mechanics. It also includes meals and refreshments, and beautiful photos to keep and treasure. You will leave with a full heart, a heavenly hand tied bouquet, a glorious vase arrangement, and memories of precious time with new flower friends! And the knowledge of how to continue on with the inspiration that has flowed into you.

Available Tuesday 6th October at 7pm $775pp total, first a deposit of $300 to reserve your place. Before tickets are available this will appear as Sold Out, so please don’t worry! We would like to give you time to think and plan before tickets are released.

You are invited to join myself and artist and photographer Laura Tait at Puhoi Farmhouse for a truly magic workshop on Saturday 15th March 2027. This is about 40 minutes north of Auckland. It will be a dream day of floral opulence and creativity, one to truly nourish the soul and inspire your own artful flowers. Before I share more details, please note that the initial payment is for your deposit only. Full details are below, and a summary at the end.

To create magic with Laura has been a long held dream of mine, we have such admiration and respect for each other’s work. This is a workshop that we know will be a dream for anyone who loves flowers and would love to learn both how to arrange and photograph your flowers at their most beautiful. We have chosen peak dahlia season for the richness of details and colour that late summer brings. Our vases (and yours!) will be overflowing with velvety flounces and layers of warm rich colours. Think opulence, texture, colour and dreamy light.

Laura’s flowers and photography always take my breath away, it is extraordinary how utterly beautiful her images are. Literally breathtaking! Her poetic imagery and rich painterly still life’s feel as if stepping in to a Dutch still life. They are a study in both opulence and the transient beauty of flowers, and truly world class and award winning. She is THE flower photographer of dreams!

All you need to join us is your love of beauty, colour and a phone camera. If you are already comfortable and familiar with using a DSLR or mirrorless camera do bring it as well, but it really your phone is perfect. You might be someone who simply adores flowers and art, or perhaps a gardener, flower grower or florist who would like to expand your style and portfolio. No previous experience is needed. Mostly it is about treasuring the opportunity to create beauty, with a small group of like minded flower lovers and in a dream setting. A day for creativity, nature and art. A day to nourish the soul like no other.

We will immerse ourselves in making and photographing the most sumptous vase arrangements. The day will begin with my demonstration, where I will guide you step by step in how I place flowers to create natural movement, depth, how I build a colour palette and what I look for when choosing materials. Then you will create your own dream floral arrangement, I will be close by to offer you encouragement and as much gentle guidance as you wish.

After a delicious shared lunch, under the guidance of Laura, you will learn how to photograph your flowers to show them at their most exquisite. Laura will first demonstrate how she creates such artful magic, you’ll learn about flower styling, how to create depth, composition and capturing beautiful light. Your flowers will be photographed by Laura, and alongside you will also learn how to capture that magic with your phone camera, to show your flowers at their most beautiful. I know myself how valuable it is to be able to take photos that show your flowers in the best possible light. And the joy it brings!

This workshop is to dedicate yourself to nurturing your creativity. To allow inspiration to flow, to feel supported and guided into allowing the joy of flowers to flow into you. It is about bringing together the most inspiring flowers and people, and immersing ourselves in the creativity that will flow. All that is required for this is a love of flowers and a phone camera.
