A New Approach to Floristry. Step into a world where floristry isn’t just about flowers, it’s about creativity, sustainability, and seeing the extraordinary in the everyday. Embrace the height of the floral season with this immersive summer floristry course. Designed for those eager to develop their skills and creative confidence, this course blends technique with artistic expression, focusing on seasonal floral design, sustainability, and natural styling.
This non-accredited course offers a fresh, modern approach to floristry, combining traditional techniques with contemporary design trends. Over the weeks, you’ll explore a range of floral techniques using the best of summer’s bounty, from garden-grown flowers to foraged foliage and unique textural elements.

With an ever-changing selection of flowers and materials, this course is the perfect next step for those looking to expand their knowledge of seasonal floristry, develop a confident design style, and explore the rich variety of summer blooms. Whether you're new to floristry or continuing your creative journey, you’ll deepen your understanding of working seasonally and discover fresh ways to create with nature.

Each session will be interactive and practical, ensuring you leave with both knowledge and floral pieces to take home.
