Wear comfortable clothes 

Before you dive into the world of stems and petals, make sure you’re comfortable. Opt for relaxed clothing that allows for easy movement – think loose trousers and tops that won't snag on greenery, and something that you don’t mind getting a little dirty. Remember, you'll be bending, reaching, and creating, so comfort is key!

Have the right floristry tools to hand

Just like any artist needs their tools, aspiring florists benefit from a few key things, so start by investing in a good pair of pruning shears, secateurs, and floral tape. Don't worry, you won't need a full-blown greenhouse set-up – plus, all of our floristry classes provide the equipment you need, which is a great way to try-before-you-buy!

Get bloom savvy with some flower research

Knowledge is power, even in the floral world! Before your workshop, spend some time browsing online resources or local flower markets, familiarising yourself with different flower types, their seasons, and their unique characteristics. This will help you make informed choices when selecting blooms for your creations.

Learn how to select the best stems

Not all blooms are created equal! During our floristry classes, you'll learn how to assess the freshness and quality of flowers. Look for firm stems, vibrant colours, and healthy, unfurled petals. Remember, the fresher they are, the longer your arrangements will last!

Experiment with different floral arrangements

The beauty of floristry lies in its endless possibilities! Don't be afraid to experiment with different styles and techniques; from classic hand-tied bouquets to whimsical flower crowns, let your creativity blossom. We have a huge variety of workshops, each focusing on specific arrangements, so you can find one that sparks your imagination.
