What others say
I can't recommend the Academy highly enough. The tutors are amazing, so enthusiastic and generous with their knowledge of the industry. The huge emphasis on practical sessions enables budding florists to gain experience whilst developing their own style. I have also learnt a huge amount about the commercial aspects of developing a successful business. There is also a lovely sense of community with ongoing support from both fellow students and tutors - even after completion.
