Life In Bloom: Floral Design For Farewells

Step into a space where the beauty of flowers takes centre stage, carefully displayed within a sterile, almost morgue-like setting that enhances their intricate details. This unique workshop invites you to explore the delicate art of floral design in an environment thoughtfully curated to make every petal and stem blossom.

Guided by Kayla Moon of Xflos, an experienced florist with a deep connection to both life and death, you’ll learn how to create stunning arrangements that consider their deeper meaning. Kayla’s early experience working in a brightly lit hospital florist, crafting arrangements for families celebrating the start of life and comforting those facing its end and emptying bins next to the hospital waste zone, is as colourful as it is macabre.

In the workshop, you’ll use dead and dying flowers to discover floral techniques but also reflect on the unique role that flowers play in human moments — whether marking a birth, celebrating life, or honouring a loved one at the end of their journey.
