A fantastic intensive guide to the foundational knowledge of floristry. The blending of practical and theoretical education was brilliant. The tutors were so kind, informative and supportive and the pacing of the week was spot on. It was great to have the tools, pack and videos to come away with. I feel like I'm leaving upskilled and raring to go!

Lindsay Pike | Beginners Evening Course | Spring 2024
Really enjoyed the3 no-foam workshop. Being a commercial florist, I was unsure of how well the designs would work without using foam. I was surprised at how well I could make the design and how easy it was to produce. I have learnt a lot of techniques that I could use in a commercial setting and will be taking the design to the local funeral directors to show them I can now product no-foam compostable designs.
Katherine Moody | No Foam Floristry | October 2023
Excellent! Tutor was very knowledgeable: helpful tips - lovely small group. Good understanding of no foam principal and this is something I will take and use to become a greener florist.
Leah Franscombe | No Foam Floristry | October 2023
Absolutely loved it. Didn't want it to end. Hungry to learn more and loved the friendly atmosphere. Excellent tutoring, very patient and happy to explain a second time. I'll be back!

Sally Camps | The Wedding Course | October 2023
Excellent! Obviously 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 defiantly recommend this course to anyone. Thank you!
Amadae Dowd | Career Course | October 2023
This course is the perfect combination of theory and practical. It was so joyous and creative with the right dose of reality to take forward a business.

I appreciated the breaks as there was a lot to learn. The joining instructions were particularly good and I found it easily. I liked that I could buy a kit.

After attending a course in 2017 I know 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!!

Beautiful flowers - so lovely to learn so much. Great teacher, always had time for you in and out of the classroom. Lovely atmosphere. Would completely recommend to anyone. Want to come back as soon as my work will let me. Have learnt so much.

Was bought this as a Christmas present and what a lovely present it was. Enjoyed the morning so much and you get to take the flowers home. Certainly beats the housework and Tesco on a Saturday morning!

Really enjoyable, I found it to be an informative and fun day. I didn't think I would be able to produce anything quite so beautiful, but you helped us step-by-step and I am thrilled with what I am going away with! It has really given me lots of inspiration, thank you!

Sarah, what can I say - A joy from start to finish! Fabulous venue, easy to find and then fun from the start. The handtied was fabulous and different flowers you convinced me I thought I didn't like! Very friendly teacher with good sense of humour. Loved it! I will be back.

Wonderful, lovely, lovely day. Great pace, lovely lunch and charming location. Beautiul materials to work with - fragrant and colourful. I surprised myself in what I could achieve. Thank you Sarah for a most delightful day.

Excellent - learnt loads. Have joined Facebook finally because of this course and therefore now have a business page on Facebook. Have mastered ribboning a funeral wreath - yippee! I absolutely recommend this course for anyone considering floristry as a career. A real treat.
