Summer event flowers

Enjoy a happy day of floristry with Chelsea Flower Show medallist Kathryn Cronin from Fierce Blooms. You will use freshly cut and blooms from Kathryn's own cutting garden to make table centre arrangements for a special event. You will also enjoy a foraging walk to gather additional wild flowers and foliage from around the woodland & hedgerows of Wernog Wood.

​

The walk will be followed by a demonstration in the workshop, of how to make a variety of table centre arrangements for a special event using your own favourite vase as well as a long and narrow table centre piece. You will use fully biodegradable natural materials, moss, twigs and string, after which you'll be able to get on with it and get creative, making the most of scent, colour, texture & form. At the end of the day you'll go home with something beautiful, natural, creative, and totally unique to you.

It is the subtlety of the seed heads, tiny flowers and colours of the British flora at different times of year that inspire the end result...

Kathryn Cronin from Fierce Blooms is a wild garden–style artisan florist based in the Wharf by the Shropshire Union Canal in Cheshire. She was recently awarded Silver in the Floral Creations category at the Chelsea Flower Show 2025, a testament to her botanical expertise and distinctive design style.

Inspired by childhood days spent in her grandfather’s greenhouse - filled with intoxicating geraniums and cascading fuchsias - Kathryn brings a deep, lifelong passion to her work. With a Botany honours degree from Nottingham University and floral design training from Reaseheath College, she creates fierce, spirited arrangements that capture the essence of each season.

She grows flowers in her canalside cutting garden, forages responsibly from British hedgerows, and designs bespoke wild garden-style arrangements for weddings and events.
