Workshops
If you would like to create your own exquisite hand-tied bouquet or floral arrangement for a special event, you will find heaps of inspiration and practical knowledge at one of our hands-on creative workshops. Gabi will help you select and pick your own flowers and foliage then work with you to make something unique and personal to you.
We run group workshops throughout the year or you can book your own bespoke workshop, giving you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Gabriel’s Garden and spend meaningful and creative time with friends and family.
“The workshops with Gabi are a flower lover’s dream! What better way to spend a few hours learning from Gabi’s incredible knowledge of flowers and plants; going around her beautiful plot choosing the blooms that take your fancy to work into your arrangement!
The other ladies in the workshop and I felt like we were children let loose in a sweetie shop!!
Gabi inspires and guides you alongside your own creativity to produce the most beautiful arrangement. Wish I could do it every day!
Can’t wait for the next one.”

‘I attended one of Gabi’s wreath making workshops 2 years ago which I loved. This year Gabi came to my house for a wreath making workshop. Gabi created a warm, happy and relaxed environment so all eight of us, novices included, enjoyed the wreath making process, starting from bare wire and finishing with a beautiful foliage filled moss wreath. In her calm, encouraging manner Gabi ensured that we all created a front door worthy Christmas wreath.’
