FLORAL FORAGE AND DESIGN WITH BLAK BOTANICS

🌿 Floral Forage & Design with Blak Botanics 🌿 Join Nadine from Blak Botanics for a hands-on Floral Forage & Design workshop amongst the beautiful grounds of Mooloolah River Landcare Native Nursery. Take a wander through the nursery with Nadine, exploring native botanicals and gathering a selection of blooms, foliage and textures to work with. Then head back to the workshop space where Nadine will guide you through creating your own unique floral arrangement to take home. It’s a chance to slow down, get amongst the plants and learn how different native botanicals, colours, shapes and textures can come together in floral design. All materials are provided — just bring yourself and get ready to forage, gather and create! 🌿💐 🌿 GATHAA Bushfood & Botanicals Market 📅 Saturday 10 October 2026 ⏰ 10:30am–11:30am 📍 Mooloolah River Landcare Native Nursery 2671 Steve Irwin Way, Glenview QLD 4553 🎟️ Ticket Price: $20.00 Meet Nadine from Blak Botanics Nadine McDonald-Dowd, a Yuwi woman from Mackay in North Queensland, brings a deep passion for both the arts and native flora.
