Installations: Dried meets fresh. A creative re-boot.
October 6th 10am-4pm
Heeled In, Monmouth, UK.
As summer tips into autumn, join Fiona Pickles and Marianne Mogendorff for a day to exhale, pause and creatively recharge. Taking inspiration from sun-bleached stems and the garden’s autumn bounty, Fiona will share her process for large scale, foam-free installations, guided by the season and the unusual ingredients gathered from the garden.
Building a design within the walled garden’s Victorian glasshouse, Fiona will share ideas for:
Installation mechanics
How to know when to stop (!)
How to build trust with a client
and much more.
The day consists of:
A large, in-depth installation demonstration by Fiona, covering the practicalities of mechanics and engineering considerations. Fiona will give insights into innovative, up-cycled, accessible and achievable mechanics providing alternatives to investing in pre-constructed frames or expensive mechanics.
Design and aesthetic considerations to encourage you to push your own creativity and to foster an approach of using the ingredients you have in abundance to create a design grounded in place and that unique moment in the season.
A walk around the walled garden and orchard with Marianne to hear more about the vision and ethos for the garden and how she grows with her design work in mind.
Seasonal lunch using ingredients from the garden, orchard & local area, as well as refreshments throughout the day .

The space will quite possibly bring you to tears, especially if you’re feeling a bit tired and emotional at the end of a busy season. The wisdom and safety the space imparts is tangible and the slightly dishevelled buildings will prompt many oohs and ahhs.
We will be based inside the glasshouse and Fiona will talk you through all her decisions as she goes - why that curved stem goes there or that space is deliberately left empty.
There may be times when some helping hands would be handy, so if you feel you may benefit from getting involved you would be very welcome, but just watching is absolutely fine too.
Places are limited and there is one scholarship place available - contact Marianne marianne@heeled.in for more about how to apply.
About Marianne
9 months ago Marianne moved to the welsh borders to rent the walled garden and orchard at the Oldlands estate. Previously co-founder of Wolves Lane Flower Company, a micro flower farm in London, Marianne grew flowers for her own design work and other florists who championed a seasonal approach. WLFC appeared in The Guardian Weekend, Vogue, and on Gardener’s World. Their book ‘How to Grow the Flowers’ is published by Pavilion/Harper Collins.
Marianne established Heeled In to provide people with opportunities to slow down, to foster connections with gardens - weeds and all - and to refind their purpose through rest.
Heeled In is located near Monmouth, approximately an hour away from Bath, Cardiff and Bristol - full address will be provided upon booking

We have deliberately coincided this with Marianne’s plant swap on the Saturday prior!
