  • 5/5 from Laura Mills, attended Sep 2026: I highly recommend this wonderful course. I loved it. Sharon and Tracey are truly inspiring. Their knowledge, their skill and their care is 10/10. I want to automatically sign up to another one with them. They have inspired me in so many ways of setting up a business. It’s no ordinary floristry course, they really teach you the creative skills and teach you the reality of setting up a business in floristry. Thank you so much
  • 5/5 from Clare Martin, attended Jun 2026: I really enjoyed this floristry course and would definitely recommend it. I signed up because I wanted to get more involved with my mum's flower business, and it gave me a great introduction to floristry techniques and business practices in a friendly, supportive environment. Sharon and Tracy were absolutely lovely—welcoming, knowledgeable, and always happy to answer questions and offer guidance. They created a relaxed atmosphere where it was easy to learn and be creative. I came away feeling more confident and inspired, with practical skills that I'll be able to use. Thank you both for such an enjoyable and worthwhile experience!
