As a flower lover and farmer, there’s something truly magical about dried flowers. Their muted, delicate beauty lets us enjoy blooms long after the summer has passed, and there’s nothing quite like creating your own arrangement to bring a little bit of nature indoors during the colder months. If you’re in Ontario and looking for a creative, hands-on activity, I’m excited to share some of the upcoming dried flower workshops for 2026!
Dried flower workshops are especially popular during autumn and the holiday season, when fresh flowers aren’t as widely available. They’re a perfect way to keep crafting and connecting with nature even in winter. Plus, many local flower farms extend their season by drying their own blooms, offering unique textures and colors you won’t find anywhere else. Some florists also host dried flower workshops during the off-season, and there are plenty of pressed flower workshops for those who enjoy a flatter, more delicate style.
Here’s a curated list of some workshops to check out across Ontario:
-
Bluewater Flower Farm Workshops – Local flower farm experiences
-
Clover Hill Flowers Workshops – Creative and seasonal floral workshops
-
Pressed in Time – Pressed Flower Workshops – Delicate pressed flower arrangements
-
Crescent Gardens Florist – Pressed Flower Workshops – Hands-on pressed flower classes
Whether you’re in the Greater Toronto Area or elsewhere in Ontario, there’s no shortage of options. Some workshops allow you to purchase flowers by the stem, even if you’re not a business customer, which makes it easy to experiment at home.
As a flower farmer myself, I regularly supply naturally grown dried flowers to craft stores and florists for both arrangement-making and workshops. I love seeing the creativity people bring to their projects, and there’s something so satisfying about working with blooms you know were grown with care.
If you’ve been looking for a cozy winter activity that brings a touch of nature indoors, a dried or pressed flower workshop is a wonderful choice. Whether you’re creating your own arrangements or learning new techniques, you’ll walk away with something beautiful—and a little reminder of the seasons’ magic.
