This is the beginnings of our online flower school.  And I use that term loosely because we’re not going to tell you to take 5 stems of this and 3 stems of that, the intention is for it to be a tool box of ideas and inspiration with a particular focus on the NZ market.  What we will do is showcase our approach to sustainability in floristry and demonstrate different alternatives to wire, tape and floral foam.

Why a flower school?

Growing up I always knew I wanted to be a florist, but didn’t like the floristry I saw so didn’t become a florist – until much later in life when I kept gravitating back to the thing I always loved.  Picking and arranging flowers is in my blood, but always my way.  I never liked the idea of someone else telling me how it should be done.  Pointers I could take, helpful advice yes but four stems of this and two of that… it’s just not the way I work.  So I’m wondering if there are others out there who like me don’t want to be told how to create but would like support and advice with…

• improving their designs
• problem solving design issues
• sustainable floristry
• no floral foam vase arranging techniques
• working towards your floristry dream
