Our Flower Workshops

Floristry Courses for Beginners

There’s something wonderful about working with your hands. Floristry has a calming, restorative effect. We call it flower therapy. Our workshops are designed to inspire. You’ll leave full of confidence and an urge to create. For friends, for teams, for flower lovers flying solo. Beginners or seasoned snippers.  The experience is relaxed, fun and filled with flowers.

The Floristry Classes we Offer

Join us for a whole range of different floristry workshops at our studio in Hackney, East London.

Come for an evening class and learn how to make a hand tied bouquet or low vase arrangement in our wild, gardeny style. The Appreciate the Seasons workshops are a wonderful gift for any flower fan. Or come and spend the day at a flower field in the heart of Walthamstow with the wonderful London Flower Farmer.

Our one day Introduction to Floristry workshop will give you a taster as to what it's like working as a florist, or if you want to take the plunge join us for our Career Course, an intensive three or five day or 2 week workshop where we cover all you need to start your flowery journey.

Light refreshments and all the flowers and materials you will need are provided on all of our workshops.  

We are passionate about using British flowers. Throughout the summer season we use as many British flowers as possible from our cutting garden in Hackney and local growers.
