Lost Field Flower School
Seasonal flower workshops
on Salt Spring Island
Flower School explores the fields, forests, and gardens of our working farm.
Lost Field Flower School at Bullock Lake Farm offers seasonal flower arranging workshops and classes on Salt Spring Island. Students harvest from the garden and learn natural, garden-inspired design techniques.
We’ll help you see potential everywhere, from weedy seed heads to hanging fruit. Every student has the opportunity to harvest and forage, following your own eye and developing your confidence to try new things. Our workshops are designed for all levels.
We hope you leave feeling more connected, more confident, and inspired by flowers as a creative practice.

Along the way we’ll share the techniques used on the farm to keep flowers productive, abundant, and beautiful through the year.

MAY
The earliest and lushest flowers of the season — tulips, ranunculus, narcissus, and peonies.
JUNE
A first taste of summer—cosmos, calendula, forget-me-nots, stock, and the drama of peonies and early dahlias.
JULY
The garden at full tilt—lush, rolling blooms in peak abundance. Delicate stems of foxglove, cosmos, and poppies bloom beside explosions of dahlias, sunflowers, and zinnias.
AUGUST
Harvest season—saturated colours, fruiting tomato vines, blackberry branches, and a riot of dahlias, snapdragons, zinnias, celosia.
SEPTEMBER
A golden finale to the season—deep-hued dahlias, rudbeckia, sunflowers, seedpods, grasses, and lavender anemones.
"Molly and Zack teach you to find beauty in unexpected places.
I couldn't believe they let us walk through their flower fields armed with a bucket and shears, free to pick anything we wanted— it surprises me how much more confident I feel arranging blooms in my own home.”
