Garden Shed Floral & Christmas Wreath Workshops 2024

We've got together with Strathtyrum Flowers to bring you a series of floral workshops, which reflects the Scottish growing season, and month-by-month offering from the Walled Garden here on the estate.

The flowers are sustainably grown, following organic principles, and carefully harvested by hand to ensure they are fresh as possible.
