We had the amazing privilege of hosting Heike from Fleur La Cordeur for her world famous Floral Workshops.
Reserved Exclusive approached us with the concept of hosting a 4 day workshop event and we were so excited. Heike has never hosted her Floral Experiences in Johannesburg, so when the opportunity arrived we were very excited.
I am absolutely in awe of this farm and the people who farm here.
The 4 day Floral Workshop Experiences consisted of Introduction to Floristry, Table Scaping and the grand finale of creating a massive floral hanging art piece, that took 20 ladies, 2 hours with no floral experience. That is a true testament to the caliber of this workshop.
Every morning as part of our workshop, we took the guests for a walk through the farm and teach them about our methods of organic farming and sustainability. The guests would also forage for greenery from the farm that would form part of their floral pieces. This set the tone for the day.
It was incredible to see how every single person created something completely different. No two creations or table setting was the same.
As the 4 day event came to a close, each guest walked away inspired and ready to take on the world. Our hearts were full with each closing day, and these workshops reminded us just what a special farm we have, and sharing it with other like minded people gave us a smile each day.
A successful event like this takes many people to make it happen, so we would like to thank the following people
- Heike from Fleur La Cordeur for inspiring all of us
- Chantelle from Reserved Exclusive for organising the event and providing the amazing decor
- Bianca Turnbull for being the chaos coordinator
- Calico and Cream for the delicious food
- All Things Wedding for their added support and decor
- The photographers that supported the day: Tyme, Lightburst, Mareshlee, Lunafay
We are looking forward to hosting future events with the amazing Heike and her team from Fleur La Cordeur.
