Secret Garden Experience
Ruthven Park is offering two dreamy floral workshops designed for anyone who loves creativity, beautiful details, and a gentle escape into nature and history. Choose between crafting an airy hand‑tied bouquet or designing a sculptural arrangement in a modern vessel, each guided by Tamara of Chippewa Blooms and inspired by the season’s freshest blooms.
Both experiences include a charming cream tea with warm scones, plus time to wander the gardens and explore the mansion’s main‑level exhibit
“The Dirty Truth About 19th‑Century Hygiene.”
Explore the workshop that feels most like your style.
