What a fantastic week! Thank you so much Sarah and Emma, I loved every minute. We covered so many topics and learnt so much. It was a great mix of theory and practice.

Absolutely fantastic! I couldn't recommend it more. It was so informative, supportive, inspiring and joyful! Sarah, Emma and Elle were wonderful teachers, answering questions, providing brilliant demonstrations and positive encouragement. The balance between practical hands on and detailed theory was perfect. It's amazing how much we covered in the week. I feel so inspired and much more confident to start on my floristry journey!
— Enya Moriarty | Floristry Career Course January 2025
Excellent! When you initially sign up for the course it seems like a lot of money, but when you get here its worth every penny. The course is a perfect mix of practical and theory. Although the logistics of floristry feels like a heavy area, it was important to show the reality and I think that's what I like most about the course: It's very realistic. The course is great for beginners and even for people like me who didn't know the name of most plants. I would recommend this course to anyone - Thank you!
— Amadae Dowd | Floristry Career Course October 2023
After attending a course in 2017 I knew that the teaching would be of a very high standard - and this week exceeded my expectations! I have already started doing some floristry work, but lacked confidence and knowledge to develop further. This course is ideal for anyone wanting to get an insight into all aspects of floristry - and I will return home ready to develop a business plan and focus on the areas fo floristry I'm interested in. But more importantly I will book some future courses so that I can develop my skills and confidence and I know the teaching will be excellent. Thank you to the three of you!!
— Jana Teteris | Floristry Career Course September 2018
