Flower Crown Workshop - Valentine’s Weekend
Celebrate the season of love and the spirit of Country by crafting your own native flower crown.
In this immersive workshop, you’ll learn how to create a natural crown base using foraged and sustainable materials, before weaving in native blooms and botanicals to form a one-of-a-kind piece. Guided by Nadine, Blak Botanics, this is a gentle, intentional process - where each stem tells a story and every crown reflects connection to land, culture, and creativity.
Held over Valentine’s Day weekend, this workshop is an invitation to honour relationships - with nature, with others, and with yourself - through slow, respectful making.
You’ll leave with a handcrafted flower crown and a deeper appreciation for the beauty and resilience of native flora.
The Queens in these photos are sisters Zartisha and Jackie.
About Nadine:
Blak Botanics Is about celebrating the beauty & diversity of flora native to this country.
Our People have been shaping stories on this country for generations & native flora has always played a very strong part of that telling process. From bunches to bouquets, arrangements to installations, projects to special moments, we are a First Nations led business, working sustainably, collaborating and learning with plenty of stories to tell.
My name is Nadine McDonald-Dowd & I am a Yuwi women from Mackay North Queensland. I’ve worked for over 30 years in the arts industry & well, it was time, so at 49 years of age, I did a certificate 3 in Floristry.
There is so much for me to learn, to listen to & to hopefully share as this little venture begins to grow & blossom - pun intended. I’m a simple person who loves working with our Native flora & ultimately just want to share that joy with others.
