Workshops
Workshop Opening Times
10:00am – 4:00pm Wednesday – Saturday
Please arrive a few minutes before your session so we can get everyone settled and ready to begin on time.
The studio is also home to our lifestyle boutique and garden design studio, so guests are very welcome to browse the shop before or after their workshop.
As we are located within the garden centre, you’re also welcome to take some time to explore the surrounding garden centre, including the plant areas and café, either before your session or once your workshop has finished.

We don’t have a café inside the greenhouse studio, however we are located within The Vineries Garden Centre, which has an on-site café: Vines Coffee Shop.

Dogs are very welcome at our workshops.
We love having them visit the studio, but we kindly ask that all dogs are kept on a lead at all times and remain under their owner’s supervision throughout the session.

There are no toilet facilities inside the greenhouse studio.
However, guests are welcome to use the toilets located inside the garden centre, which are just a short walk from the studio.
