Step into a world where floristry isn’t just about flowers, it’s about creativity, sustainability, and seeing the extraordinary in the everyday. This course is for anyone craving a fresh take on floral design, whether you’re a curious beginner, a hobbyist looking to innovate, or someone dreaming of a career that blends art with eco-conscious practices.

This isn’t a conventional floristry course. Our approach is rooted in sustainability, resourcefulness, and playful experimentation. You’ll develop an eye for hidden beauty, discover budget-friendly alternatives to cut flowers, and learn techniques that reduce waste while amplifying creativity. By the end, you’ll not only master foundational skills but also cultivate a mindset that turns “ordinary” into “extraordinary.

Free parking onsite, bus stop outside. Bring own refreshments if needed. No class during half term.

During the course, we will be working with rich autumnal hues, seasonal materials such as dried seed-heads and rustic textures. Create arrangements inspired by nature’s transition, using pumpkins, berries, and foliage foraged from local gardens and hedgerows. Learn to repurpose storm-fallen branches into striking centrepieces and wreaths, blending traditional floristry skills with sustainable practices.
