Blak Botanicals - Native Floral Table Piece Workshop

This workshop invites you to create a floral table piece that honours connection - to land and to season. You will work with natural materials and native plants, learning to shape arrangements that speak to culture, sustainability, and the quiet power of place. Each stem becomes a thread in a living tapestry, woven with respect and creativity.

About Nadine:

Blak Botanics is about celebrating the beauty and diversity of flora native to this country.

Our People have been shaping stories on this country for generations and 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.
