My 80 year old mother & I have just come back from a wonderful flower arranging workshop at Galloway Flowers. Lovely wander around the extensive garden, then tea & home made cake, a demonstration & we were then let loose to create our own. Small class & everyone so friendly. Rosie was amazing, so knowledgeable & generous. Lovely way to spend a gloriously sunny Sunday afternoon. Can highly recommend. Sarah Raven eat your heart out!

  Rosie Gray, founder of Galloway Flowers, is an Artisan Flower Farm & Florist growing gorgeous seasonal flowers & foliage near Castle Douglas. Rosie loves to share her enthusiasm (& lots of tips!) on how to arrange locally grown, seasonal flowers & foliage in an informal, 'just picked from the garden' style.  Thousands of stems are grown each year - from classic cut flowers such as Sweet Peas, Tulips & Dahlias  to many unusual varieties rarely seen in a Supermarket or High Street Florist.
