We will walk around Amisfield Walled Garden, an eighteenth century treasure, and discuss flowers, textures, colours, foliage as we pick and choose our ingredients. I will demonstrate how to arrange them practising sustainable methods, using different containers with lots of invaluable hints and tips.
