A Workshop with Saxon Manor - Avery Collection
In April 2025 we worked with Saxon Manor - Avery Collection Care Home to bring some floral joy to the residents in Godmanchester.
We held a small workshop where residents worked in teams of two to create a floral basket.
The mechanics behind the basket, such as use of eco-friendly Oasis bio-foam to ensure the flowers can drink water.
After a short demonstration, residents got to work ‘greening up’ the baskets with foliage. After this, we added in seasonal blooms which included spray Chrysanthemum, Roses, Limonium, Carnation and Tulip.
The baskets were then finished with a satin bow of their choosing.
We really enjoyed working with the residents and hearing about their knowledge of flowers from previous gardening or flower arranging.
We were very impressed with the residents’ ability with the arrangements and their creative flair. We hope to return for more workshops in future!
A big thank you to Rosie and Hannah at Saxon Manor for making it all possible!
