A Delicious Day of Dahlias at The Post and Rail
The Post and Rail
A big bouquet of flowers to carry home, new plants to grow and a delicious seasonal lunch shared around the table. A Delicious Day of Dahlias at The Post and Rail in Penola is a joyful summer workshop for anyone who loves flowers.
Led by gardener, cook and artist Cindy Bunt, guests use dahlias, seasonal flowers and foliage picked from her garden to create generous, abundant bouquets. Cindy guides everyone through choosing and arranging their flowers, so each guest leaves with a bouquet to be proud of.
The day also covers how to sow dahlia seeds and take cuttings, showing just how easy it is to grow more of these generous, rewarding plants at home.
Then everyone gathers around the table for a homemade seasonal lunch, with a complimentary glass of wine from the family vineyard, homemade lemon squash or a gin with homemade tonic.
After last summer's workshop booked out with sisters, mums, daughters and friends, it is back by popular demand. No flower-arranging or propagation experience is needed.
Set in the heritage-listed former Cobb and Co building near Petticoat Lane, on the doorstep of the Coonawarra wine region, it makes a beautiful day out in the Limestone Coast.
