How many people can take part?

Group size will depend on the workshop, venue and kind of experience you are looking for.Small groups can feel wonderfully intimate, while some workshops can be adapted for larger groups. Tell me roughly how many people you are bringing together in your enquiry and we can work from there.

Where do BLISS workshops take place?

Private workshops may take place in the BLISS & Bloom garden, where appropriate, or at a suitable venue of your own.Commissioned workshops can be brought to charities, community settings, workplaces, gardens and other suitable venues.We will consider the space, facilities, accessibility and the activity itself before confirming what will work best.

Do we need to choose an existing workshop?

Not necessarily.Private groups can choose from the existing BLISS & Bloom experiences and personalise the details around their occasion.Organisations can also book an existing workshop, adapt one for their audience or talk to me about creating something specifically for a project, theme or group.

This will vary depending on the workshop. Your proposal will clearly set out what is included, such as facilitation, planning and preparation, materials, plants or flowers, reflective or creative resources and any agreed refreshments or other elements.There will be no guessing about what you are paying for before you book.

How much does a BLISS Workshop cost?

Because group size, materials, location, duration and the amount of bespoke preparation can vary considerably, workshop costs are confirmed after I understand what you need.Where an existing workshop has a set or starting price, this will be made clear. For commissioned work, I will provide a proposal and agreed fee before any work goes ahead.

Can workshops be adapted for accessibility or additional needs?

Yes. Please tell me about any accessibility requirements or other considerations that may help your group participate comfortably.Wherever possible, I will take these into account when planning the activity, materials, pace and setting.

Do BLISS Workshops involve therapy or counselling?

BLISS Workshops are thoughtfully facilitated gardening, creativity and wellbeing experiences. They may include gentle reflection and meaningful conversation, but nobody is expected to disclose personal experiences or participate in anything that feels uncomfortable.You are always free to engage in the experience in your own way.

How far in advance should I enquire?

As early as you can is always helpful, particularly if you have a specific date in mind. Some workshops involve seasonal materials, venue planning or bespoke preparation, so giving us time to plan means we can create the experience with care.If your timeframe is shorter, you are still very welcome to ask.

BLISSING & BLOOMING

BLISS Workshops

Pause. Create. Connect.

Thoughtfully created experiences bringing together gardening, creativity, wellbeing and meaningful connection — for private groups, communities and organisations.

A little time away from the everyday to make something, share something and simply enjoy being together.

More than a workshop

A BLISS Workshop is about more than the activity itself.

It is about creating the right conditions for people to slow down, feel comfortable, become absorbed in something with their hands and connect with one another in a way that feels natural.

There may be flowers on the table, soil under our fingernails, something beautiful taking shape or a conversation that goes a little deeper than expected.

Gardening, creativity, gentle reflection and shared experience are woven together thoughtfully — not because everyone needs to arrive at the same place, but because sometimes a little space away from the everyday allows something different to happen.

There is nothing to perform and nowhere you need to get to.

Just space to pause, create, talk, laugh, notice and enjoy what unfolds.

Every
BLISS
Workshop
is different, but these three elements sit quietly
at the heart
of the experience

Pause

Step away from the usual pace for a little while.

The workshop creates space to slow down, settle in and become present — whether that comes through working with plants, noticing the seasons, sharing food or simply having time that feels different from the everyday.

Create

Use your hands, your imagination and your curiosity.

You might plant, arrange, grow, make or explore something inspired by the garden and the natural world. The activity gives everyone something absorbing and enjoyable to do, while leaving room for conversation, reflection and discovery to happen naturally.

Connect

Spend time together in a way that feels easy and genuine.

Connection might come through shared conversation, laughter, making something side by side or simply enjoying the experience together. There is no pressure to share more than feels comfortable — the conditions are created, and everyone is free to experience the workshop in their own way.

Two ways to bring BLISS Workshops to your group

For your own group

Whether you are bringing together people you already know and love, or creating something meaningful for a community, team or organisation, there are two ways we can work together

Bring together friends, family or people you care about for a birthday, celebration, new beginning or simply some time together that feels a little more special.

You can choose from existing BLISS & Bloom workshop experiences, including private versions of selected Seasonal Garden Gatherings, and we can shape the details around your group, occasion and setting.

Depending on the workshop, your experience can take place in the BLISS & Bloom garden or at a venue of your own.

For organisations & communities

BLISS Workshops can also be booked or commissioned by charities, community groups, workplaces and organisations looking for thoughtful gardening, creativity and wellbeing experiences for the people they support, employ or bring together.

You may choose an existing BLISS & Bloom workshop that already fits what you need, or we can work together to create something around your audience, setting, theme or purpose.

This could be a one-off workshop, a wellbeing experience, a community session or something developed in response to a particular project or brief.

Private BLISS Workshops

Something lovely to share

Some occasions deserve more than simply finding somewhere to meet.

A Private BLISS Workshop gives you the chance to bring your people together for a beautifully considered experience — time to slow down, make something, talk, laugh and enjoy being together.

Perfect for birthdays, friendship gatherings, celebrations, new beginnings or simply because you would like to spend a different kind of day together.

Choose an experience

You can choose from a growing collection of BLISS & Bloom workshop experiences, shaped around gardening, flowers, creativity, the seasons and wellbeing.

Selected Seasonal Garden Gatherings can also be recreated privately for your own group — giving you the spirit of the original BLISS & Bloom experience on a date chosen especially for you.

Make it yours

Once you have chosen your workshop, we can shape the details around your group.

Depending on the experience, this might include seasonal activities, flowers or planting, creative making, gentle reflective elements, food and refreshments, or simply more time to linger and enjoy being together.

The intention is not to fill every minute. It is to create the conditions for a genuinely lovely experience to unfold.

Where can we gather?

Depending on the workshop and the size of your group, your experience may take place here in the BLISS & Bloom garden or at a suitable venue of your own.

If you would like me to bring the workshop to you, we can talk about the space, practical requirements and what will work best for the experience you have chosen.

ENQUIRE ABOUT A PRIVATE WORKSHOP

Commissioned BLISS Workshops

Thoughtful experiences, created around your people

BLISS Workshops can be booked or commissioned by charities, community organisations, workplaces and other groups looking for meaningful gardening, creativity and wellbeing experiences.

You may already know exactly what you want to offer, or you may simply know how you would like people to feel when they leave. Either is a good place to begin.

Choose an existing BLISS Workshop

If one of the existing BLISS & Bloom workshop experiences already suits your audience or purpose, it can be brought to your organisation and adapted where needed for your setting, group and practical requirements. This can be a simple way to offer a thoughtfully designed experience without needing to create something from scratch.

Commission something for your group

Where your organisation has a particular audience, theme, project or brief, we can work together to create something more specific.

That might involve adapting an existing workshop or developing a new experience around the people taking part, what you hope the session will offer and the environment in which it will be delivered.

The aim is always to create something that feels appropriate, engaging and genuinely worthwhile — rather than simply fitting people into a predetermined format.

Who might this be for?

BLISS Workshops may be suitable for:

Charities and community organisations supporting women and young people, wellbeing programmes, community groups, staff wellbeing initiatives, team experiences and organisations looking for creative, nature-based ways to bring people together.

One workshop or something longer

A commission might be a single workshop, part of an existing programme or a small series developed around a particular theme or group.

If you are exploring a larger project, we can talk through what would make sense before deciding on the format.

Where can workshops take place?

Commissioned workshops can be delivered at your organisation, in a community or garden setting, or at another suitable venue.

We can discuss accessibility, group size, materials, facilities and any other practical requirements as part of the planning process.

How it works

Every BLISS Workshop begins with a conversation.

Whether you are planning something for your own group or exploring a workshop on behalf of an organisation, we will take it one step at a time.

01.
Tell me what you have in mind

Complete the BLISS Workshops enquiry form with a little about your group, your preferred date or timeframe, where you would like the workshop to take place and what you are hoping to create.

You do not need to have everything worked out before getting in touch.

02. We shape the experience

If you are choosing an existing BLISS Workshop, we will look at how it can work beautifully for your group and setting.

If you are commissioning something more bespoke, we will talk through your audience, purpose and ideas before agreeing the right approach.

03. We take care of the details

Once the workshop is agreed, I will confirm the format, timing, materials, practical requirements and cost so that everyone knows exactly what is being arranged.

Then I can prepare the experience thoughtfully around the people who will be taking part.

04.
Pause. Create. Connect.

On the day, everything is brought together so that your group can simply arrive and experience it.

There will be space to make, notice, talk, laugh, reflect and connect — without needing to rush or perform.
