A Dorset charity is set to host a workshop on dried flowers next week.

Diverse Abilities is inviting people to a creative workshop at Brothers Farm in Wimborne on Tuesday, September 29.

The event will take place in the Flower Barn, where attendees will learn to make a hand-tied dried straw flower garland using flowers grown at the farm.

The workshop will be led by Becca, who will teach the techniques involved and offer advice on how to preserve dried blooms.

There will also be a focus on how to shape dried flowers into a unique arrangement for the home.

All necessary tools and flowers will be provided.

The workshop also includes a sustainable gift-wrapping option for those who wish to pass on their creation to someone else.

The event will take place from 6pm to 8pm at Brothers Farm Flowers, Stapehill, Wimborne, BH21 7ND.
