The Anti-Valentine’s Hand-Tie Bouquet Workshop, Friday 6th February

Forget overpriced red roses flown halfway around the world. Join us at STEM + STEM for an Anti-Valentine’s evening where we celebrate romance the right way – with seasonal, sustainably sourced flowers and proper floristry skills.

Did you know that imported red roses at Valentine’s can have a carbon footprint up to 6 times higher than seasonal alternatives? We’re ditching the commercial Valentine’s playbook and working with beautiful British and European blooms instead.

Learn the art of hand-tied bouquets with our co-founder Dee, who’ll guide you through creating stunning arrangements using romantic colour palettes – think the moodier, softer, more chic sisters of the traditional red rose. Master the spiral stem technique and discover how seasonal flowers can be just as (if not more) romantic than their imported counterparts.

Perfect for date night, a creative evening with friends, your mum, or treating yourself, you’ll leave with:

• A gorgeous hand-tied bouquet to take home
• Professional floristry techniques you can use again and again
• Care tips to keep your flowers fresh longer
• Canapes and a glass of wine or soft drink on arrival
• New skills and creative confidence

No experience necessary – just bring your creativity and a healthy skepticism of overpriced petrol station roses! All materials, tools, and expert tuition included.

What to expect:

• Canapes and welcome drink on arrival
• Introduction to seasonal flowers and romantic colour palettes
• Step-by-step guidance on hand-tying techniques
• Create your own bouquet to take home
• Relaxed, inspiring atmosphere in our beautiful dining space

Limited spaces available. Book your spot for a smarter, more sustainable take on Valentine’s flowers.
