Florist Dream Day: A Private Garden Workshop with Max Gill









Florist Dream Day: A Private Garden Workshop with Max Gill
Imagine a full day immersed in flowers, creativity, and inspiration—set in the beauty of a private garden. This is more than a workshop; it’s a florist’s dream day.
Join us for a special one-day experience with Max Gill, where artistry meets nature at the Vo Floral Garden in Castro Valley.
Max is widely admired for his refined, garden-inspired style—designs that feel both intentional and effortlessly natural. His work has a way of highlighting the movement, texture, and personality of each stem, creating arrangements that feel alive and deeply connected to the seasons. Beyond his technical skill, Max is an inspiring teacher, known for breaking down his process in a way that feels approachable, thoughtful, and empowering for florists at any level.
From 9AM to 5PM, you’ll spend the day learning, creating, and connecting in an intimate, hands-on setting. Max will guide you through essential floral techniques with his signature approach, offering both inspiration and practical skills you can carry into your own work.
What you’ll learn:
Hand-tied bouquet design
Centerpiece design
After Max’s demonstration, you’ll step into the garden and harvest your own flowers and foliage—hand-selecting the ingredients that will bring your designs to life. There’s something truly special about creating with materials you’ve gathered yourself, surrounded by the very place they were grown.
