About the Workshop
Join our professional floristry team this autumn to create a pumpkin centrepiece for your home, complete with foliage and flowers from the Chatsworth Kitchen and Cutting Garden.
Find out more about this area of the garden as you join the team for an informative talk and tour, weather permitting. After the talk, you'll select your pumpkin and forage for foliage to dress your centrepiece. Flowers will also be provided.
You'll then have the opportunity to create your own unique autumnal centrepiece, with demonstrations and and instruction from our floristry team. At the end of the session, take your piece home to display and enjoy.
