Utako Ogihara –
I can not discribe enough in my words how wonderful and so special experience I had with this Damask rose workshop.
Start from misty morning at the farm 6am, gorgeous rose picking with Vicki was such a glorious time.
After sunrise view of farm and smell of roses were delicious, we had distil session with Allan who told me very interesting process and about how special is this rose, and I helped him to how to get rose oil and rose water from 1880’s shed ! after that I had yummy breakfast and lunch that made by best cook Vicki’s at beautiful farm view.
After hours distill process, that was uch a amazing moment to see my! picking roses oil and rose water!! We put it in very special Miron glass bottle to keep fresh rose water. It was amazing time I have ever spent, highly recommend to anyone and I love to be back next year again!
Thank you again Vicki & Allan.
