Green and Gorgeous

Rachel Siegfried has worked in horticulture for 25 years and has experience in design, landscaping nursery work and productive horticulture. In 2008 she founded Green and Gorgeous, a flower farm and floral design studio in Oxfordshire. Here, she and her partner, Ashley Pearson grow hundreds of varieties, carefully selected for their cut flower credentials, on five acres of land. The flowers they produce are sold directly to the public through their farm shop, used for wedding work and as teaching material in their popular workshops. Rachel's gardening background brings a unique perspective which puts seasonality and sustainability front and centre of her work.

You will spend some time exploring the flower farm with Rachel who will share her favourite varieties and give tips on growing and picking both flowers and foliage. This will be followed by refreshments and a floral demonstration. There will be plants and seeds for sale at the end of the evening along with copies of Rachel's new book The Cut Flower Sourcebook.
