This course is for anyone with a passion for being creative with flowers, whether it becomes a relaxing hobby or the start of a floral career.
Although not an accredited course, we look at design and work through arrangements from Level 1 to Level 3. Working with sundries to create beautiful arrangements suitable for the home or wedding. With discussions and lively classes, you are sure to bring out the floral designer in you.

We would like you to provide your flowers and foliage every week along with containers, tapes, wires, string etc. The tutor will explain, email and then demonstrate the item, allowing for questions so that you have all the information needed for the following week.

If you wish to create a diary, please bring a note pad and pen and a phone/camera to photograph your display. These pictures have been used to create lovely portfolios previously and are useful if you wish to go further in floristry.

Starter floristry kits are available on line with basic equipment required.

In order to avoid disappointment, it is advisable to enrol at least 2½ weeks prior to the course starting. We will confirm course information 2 weeks prior to the start date. Please note there will be no session on 19/02/25.
