COULD I BE A FLORIST?
All courses are one to one tuition. Available in silk or fresh flowers
A Two or Three day intensive course. 10.30 – 1.30 each day.
This course is for all those of you who dream of one day owning a flower shop or starting an online flower business. We wouldn’t pretend for one moment that you could possibly learn it all in two or three days, but after this course you will certainly know if floristry is for you. We will discuss all aspects of being a florist including the really early mornings, the late nights, the freezing buckets etc – but also the sheer pleasure when you see a brides face light up as she sees her wonderful flowers! Course includes useful floristry equipment and if interested a visit to a major wholesaler.
