Floristry

Flowers play a major part in the UK economy: the UK fresh cut flower and indoor plant retail sector is worth more than £2bn.

Our courses are ideal for complete beginners who are thinking about a career in floristry or for people who are already working in floristry. We also have a range of short courses starting throughout the year for those who want to enjoy flower arranging at home, or for anyone interested in trying out a short floristry course before committing to longer study.

Learn traditional and contemporary floral arrangements, table centre designs, hand-tied bouquets, colour theory, composition and much more.

Our tutors are professional practising florists and are well qualified to teach the basic enterprising skills such as costing and quality checking that form part of the courses.
