Our Foam Free Sustainable Floristry Course has finally launched.
We have worked long and hard on this program to make sure the designs worked commercially in a commercial setting. We tried and tested many mechanics and give you our honest opinion on using them.
As a commercial flower school it is our responsibility to train the future florists in our industry sustainable techniques and mechanics that can also be sustainable in their business in order to pay a sustainable wage and run a financially sustainable business.
