About

The courses are perfect for those who are just beginning

We practice floristry in a comfortable and supportive atmosphere

We work in small groups so the teacher can give attention to every student and every project. We provide all materials and tools you’ll take home not only new knowledge and skills, but also photos of all your work for your portfolio. And, of course, a school certificate!

Courses

We put careful thought into every course. The programs can be taken individually or in any combination — whenever you feel like it

Floristry can be a true art form, and I want to introduce you to it. I help you find inspiration in nature to discover your idea, overcome the fear  of trying something new, and learn to express yourself through your material. Join me on  a creative journey!
