Monday 23rd March 2026 10am - 4pm
Have you ever wondered what it would really feel like to become a florist?
Not just arranging flowers at home — but training properly…
Understanding technique…
Working with professional materials…
and discovering whether floristry could become more than a hobby?
This immersive one-day experience is designed for anyone considering a career in floristry — or simply longing to explore their creativity in a professional studio environment.
This is your opportunity to step inside the Academy and try it for real.
What You’ll Experience
During the day you will:
Learn the foundations of professional floristry technique
Understand spiral hand-tied bouquet construction
Create a seasonal buttonhole with correct wiring methods
Design a balanced table arrangement with professional mechanics
All designs are demonstrated step-by-step by our experienced tutors before you create your own.
You’ll leave with:
A professionally finished hand-tied bouquet
A buttonhole
A table arrangement
New skills
Honest insight into the realities of training and working as a florist
And perhaps… clarity.
