Our 3 day floristry foundation course is the very best course for you if you’re looking to learn practical, sustainable floral design skills. It’s a great opportunity to immerse yourself in a scented floral environment and perhaps explore whether flowers might take you on a new career journey.
We have taught without using floral foam, only sustainable mechanics and with British flowers for a number of years. We’re taking it one step further for 2025 by committing to using only British flowers during the growing season.
In our relaxed school room environment we introduce you to the foundation of floristry. We encourage everyone to enjoy working with the natural beauty of seasonal flowers and to take as many photographs of your work as possible – we’ll be there to guide you through capturing a great image. In our experience, these three days are often the start of a longer journey with us and so these images could be the foundations of your very first portfolio!
Our 3 day course course suits anyone interested in learning the basics as a hobbyist or those interested in taking a first steps towards a career change. If you’re already considering a career change please note that you don’t have to complete our Floristry Foundation course in order to do so, you can simply jump ahead to our 2 or 4 week Career Change Course.
