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.
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 re-purpose storm-fallen branches into striking centrepieces and wreaths, blending traditional floristry skills with sustainable 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. Bring own refreshments if needed. No class during half term. We recommend wearing closed, comfortable shoes.
