The workshop in detail
Pascale will take you on a one-hour tour of the world of flowers.
You will start by discovering the place, its history and the values that are found there every day.
Then you will visit the flower field. Pascale will give you an introduction to flower growing, the choice of varieties and their seasonality, cultivation techniques, and the properties of each flower. This is the time to open your ears and ask all the questions you want!
Finally, with secateurs in hand, it will be time to pick your own bouquet following Pascale's wise advice! Give free rein to your creativity and play with shapes and colours to create your bouquet!
Bouquet in hand, you can still relax on the bench at the foot of the flowers to recharge your batteries in the fresh air!
Psst! Remember to come equipped. This workshop takes place outside and not in a greenhouse. So dress according to the weather, bring appropriate shoes and clothes that you can get dirty.
Workshop location
The workshop is easily accessible by public transport.

Meet Pascale Malilo
Horticulturist
Pascale started her professional life as a graphic designer.
During a holiday in France, she discovered the beauty of flower gardens.
In 2015, she decided to change careers to make a living from her passion and took a course in organic market gardening.
The adventure really began when she joined the Cycle Farm producers' cooperative located south of Brussels. There she grew aromatic plants and edible flowers for curious and creative restaurateurs. Eventually, she decided to focus on cut flowers.
She then launched a pick-your-own flower project called 'Cycle Farm Fleurs' which suited her better! The principle is simple. You pick a bouquet yourself following Pascale's advice and pay according to her instructions; an approach based on trust!
On another field nearby, Pascale also grows flowers that she dries and sells during winter to florists. Daphne and Elléa, florists at Wecandoo, use them for their beautiful creations that only they know how to make!
Pascale is a member of the Belgium Slow Flowers movement, which promotes flowers that are grown with passion locally, respecting nature and the seasons.
Her field is a real corner of paradise where vegetables and flowers cohabit and delight passers-by as well as producers! It's a haven to come and breathe and recharge your batteries!
