ON THE FARM · KORUMBURRA

Get your hands in the soil

Join us on the farm.

Small-group workshops and open days held right here on the farm in South Gippsland — where the learning is hands-on, the surroundings are beautiful and the dahlias are everywhere you look.

DATES COMING SOON. WORKSHOP DATES ARE BEING FINALISED - JOIN THE WAITLIST AND YOU’LL BE THE FIRST TO KNOW WHEN BOOKINGS OPEN.

Why we run workshops

Learning that happens outdoors.

There’s something that happens when you learn in a real garden, with real soil and real flowers — it stays with you in a way that a book or a screen never quite does. That’s the whole idea behind our workshops at The Garden at Grandview.

Whether you’re brand new to dahlias or a seasoned gardener looking to deepen your knowledge, our sessions are relaxed, small and genuinely enjoyable. No pressure, no rush — just time in a beautiful space with people who love the same things you do.

SMALL GROUPS

Intimate sessions so you can ask questions, go at your own pace and actually learn.

ALL LEVELS WELCOME

Complete beginners through to experienced gardeners — everyone finds something new.

HANDS-ON

You’ll leave with dirt under your fingernails and skills you can use the very next day.

ON THE FARM

Held in a real working garden in South Gippsland — not a hall, not a classroom.

01

Dahlia Growing Masterclass

3-4 HOURS | ALL LEVELS

A relaxed, hands-on half-day on the farm covering everything you need to grow dahlias with confidence — from preparing the soil and planting your tubers right through to deadheading, feeding and lifting at the end of the season.

You’ll leave with a genuine understanding of how dahlias grow and the know-how to make them thrive in your own garden, no matter how big or small.

  • Soil preparation and planting techniques

  • Staking, pinching and deadheading

  • Feeding and watering through the season

  • End-of-season lifting and storage

  • Take-home growing guide included

$125 p/person

02

Seasonal Flower Arranging

2-3 HOURS | MORNING SESSION

Step into the garden at peak bloom and learn to create beautiful dahlia arrangements using flowers cut fresh on the day. This session is about developing your eye for colour, texture and composition — and giving you the confidence to arrange flowers in a way that feels naturally beautiful rather than stiff or forced.

You’ll take home your own arrangement, along with a newfound appreciation for what goes into a really good bunch of dahlias.

  • Guided tour of the dahlia garden at bloom

  • Colour, texture and composition principles

  • Hands-on arranging with fresh-cut dahlias

  • Take your arrangement home with you

  • Light refreshments provided

$95 p/person

What to expect

A day on the farm

South Gippsland setting

The farm is surrounded by rolling Gippsland countryside — a genuinely beautiful place to spend a morning. Comfortable shoes are recommended.

Small, friendly groups

Sessions are kept small so you get real attention and genuine conversation — not a lecture. It’s the kind of morning where you leave having made a friend or two.

Relaxed and unhurried

These aren’t rushed, packed-out events. Time in the garden moves differently — and that’s exactly the point. Come ready to slow down and enjoy it.
