The Flowers

There will be a lot of flowers and they will always be the stars of the show. We choose the absolute best quality and most beautiful flowers. Wherever possible the flowers will be sourced from our amazing British suppliers.

Teaching Style

Our practical sessions begin with a teacher demonstration where we talk you through the relevant techniques and give you advice as to what flowers work well and why. We aim to inspire and guide you but never expect you to simply copy what we have done. This is your chance to play, experiment and be free. The session is then followed by friendly and constructive feedback.

We encourage you to learn and be inspired by your fellow students and we strive to give you as much of our knowledge as we possibly can.

Support and Aftercare

We aim to try and answer all your questions on the course and don't consider any question 'too stupid'. The more you ask, the more we can tell you!

Each day starts at 10am and finishes at 4pm. There is an hour lunch break where you can pop into our wonderful market town.
