We Love Our Floral Design Students

We have a wide variety of students who attend and have attended our classes during the past 12 years. We have held the sessions in Kingskerswell and other venues in Newton Abbot and the surrounding area.
Some of the students -

  • are those who have an interest in the subject and would like to learn more-

  • some students may want an introduction to the subject as a career move before they make the commitment of enrolling on longer Floral Design courses.

  • some are those who have attended previous classes for a number of years, who want to continue their learning and gain new inspiration within a friendly atmosphere-

  • some are intending to help make up wedding flowers for a family member or friend and want to gain a little more confidence-

  • some have previously studied or have past flower arranging/floristry experience who want to 'refresh' their interest and skills in the subject-

  • some are church flower arrangers who like to meet at the session along with friends and design something special for themselves to take home-

  • some are wedding planners who want to learn the basics of floral design just in case they need to help prepare floral décor for a wedding or fix a 'floral related problem' during a wedding-
