Beginner friendly
Floristry Foundations
Four weeks of core technique — the same fundamentals our educators use every day in commercial work. No experience needed; leave able to condition, spiral, wire, wrap and care for flowers like a working florist.
What you'll learn
Week by week
- Week 1 — Conditioning & care. Flower botany basics, hydration, vase life, safe tool handling and the florist's spiral.
- Week 2 — Hand-tied design. Stem balance, proportion, domed vs loose shapes, and wrapping for gifting.
- Week 3 — Wired work. Buttonholes, corsages and wired stems; mechanics for foam-free arranging.
- Week 4 — Colour & composition. Colour theory, texture pairing and a final assessed arrangement to take home.
