Pumpkin Floristry Workshop | 29 Oct 2026 | Great Baddow

🎃 Create your own beautiful fresh-flower pumpkin arrangement in this relaxed, beginner-friendly autumn workshop.

You'll start with a real pumpkin and transform it into a seasonal floral arrangement using fresh flowers and foliage. I'll guide you through the process step by step, from preparing your materials and arranging your foliage to adding your flowers and creating a balanced finished design.

No floristry experience is needed. The workshop is designed for complete beginners, and you'll be shown everything you need to know as we go.

Your ticket includes everything you need, including your pumpkin, fresh flowers, foliage and all the materials needed to create your arrangement. Tools will also be available to use during the workshop, so there's no need to bring anything with you.

The workshop lasts around two hours and is relaxed and informal, with plenty of time to work at your own pace, ask questions and enjoy creating something completely different.

Coming on your own? That's absolutely fine. Branch Out workshops are designed to be comfortable whether you arrive with friends or by yourself. You'll have your own project to focus on, so there's no awkward forced socialising.

You'll leave with:

• Your own completed fresh-flower pumpkin arrangement
• New floristry skills and techniques
• Advice on looking after your arrangement at home
