Announcing my Winter Workshop: Growing the Flowers

Visit my winter garden and learn what you can do in your garden this season, to set yourself up for a spring and summer of flowers.

We will cover garden and soil prep and seasonal planting in our West Coast context. You will leave with a plan for your growing space, an understanding of the less colourful field work and some seedlings to plant!

We will be focusing on the behind the scenes of seasonal flower growing, including

🍂 What to do right now in the garden
đŸȘ± Tricks for happy plants and soil
đŸŒ± Dahlia dividing and growing tips (plus a tuber presale!)
🩋 Composting, mulching and feeding (the easy way)

This workshop will be held rain or shine so please wear appropriate clothing for the weather. There will be complementary tea and coffee, a range of seedlings available to purchase and you will get the first pick of my dahlia tuber pre-sale. Bring your questions, challenges, and garden dreams to share!

Book on my website (link in bio).

I hope to see you there,

Phoebe

Mabel and I started the great dahlia dig yesterday.
It’s always fun to compare the tuber clump: the grubby, below-the-soil, workhorses that create the blooms with the bouquet-ready juicey gals produced through high summer. I love this about the gig of growing. Full circle, dirty and lovely.

The shed flowers are now in their mid year hibernation!
Thanks for all the weekend shed flower support this season, see you back here when the tulips are ready ☀

Limited bouquets and vase arrangements are still available to order through the off-season, message or email if you’re after one.

Meanwhile, I’ll be here mulching, planting, sowing and scheming for next season. With some feet-up time scheduled in đŸ˜œ hope you’ve got a bit of that on the cards too x

Everlasting Arrangements: an Autumn Workshop
5pm Saturday May 16 Speight’s Ale House, Greymouth

Here’s a wee demo post of something you might make at my upcoming workshop.

I will guide you to make a little sculptural arrangement that you can hang on your wall. There will be buckets of dried ingredients, grown here in Paroa, as well as beautiful Eucalyptus from Moana and vines and twine to wrap up little bases from.

As an experienced art teacher, flower grower, wine and cocktail lover, a floral workshop at Speight’s is my forte!!! So don’t miss this one.

Perfect timing for a Mother’s Day gift or an autumn night out with your mates.

Tickets available on my website, link in bio.
See you therrrrrre!

A hello, a wee background yarn and a big thanks from me!

Thanks for following along on here, for all of the support this season and to those of you who have been here since the kernel of this dreamy, immense, wild idea of a biz started back in 2021.

Five years seems like quite a while as I scroll back through the albums on my phone. But every month, every season (and often every day!) there are new ideas, challenges and things to work out that keep me feeling like such a rookie but also totally like a kid in a candy shop.

The goal has always been to have a creative practice, to have flexibility around our growing family and to spend lots of time outdoors, in touch with the seasons. I love the variety, the creativity and the pivotable nature of it all, I’m a yes girl and we laugh about how I can’t say no but I do believe that this is all possible because of all of those yeses! The yeses and the endless belief and high fives on the home front from my wee family.

With my background as an artist and art teacher and an upbringing on a farm, the puzzle pieces, looking back, slide so nicely together into what we have created with Flowers by Phoebe.

I planted the first flowers on the lawn in Reefton in 2021, turning them into my first vase arrangements each week for Dawson’s Hotel. After moving to Greymouth in 2022 and expanding the growing area significantly, I completed a DWC CoStarters business course, made a roadside flower shed and a website, ordered seeds, then seedlings, bulbs and trees and worked the rest out as it rolled along. There were many questions to my generous fellow flower growers (the wonderful FBA) and as many Yeses as I could get away with.

As this season slows with the cooling, shortening days, I’m excited for next season which we kick off with the tulips in late August. You can still order flowers through the winter but the shed will have a break from sometime in May. We have workshops on through the cooler months and lots of field work to do to get everything flying for Springtime.

Thanks for being here, thanks for supporting local seasonal flowers and creativity, and if you got through that not-so-wee yarn, a high five to you too!

It’s ANZAC week, the field is slowing righhht down and the dried flower rack in the studio is asking to be dipped into.

Wreaths available, for ANZAC, for remembering, or just for your space.

Dried flower arrangement WORKSHOPS also available. Make your own everlasting, colourful, floral work to take home. Workshops are guided and hosted at Speights so you can enjoy a drink and some snacks while you create. Sounds like an Autumn date to me!
