IN PERSON WORKSHOPS
The floristry world is constantly changing, and we have chance to be part of that change, and to shape it. The workshops I’ve put together here for you have been designed to inspire, to inform and to fire your imagination, no matter your style or level of experience.
From an in-depth focus on bouquets or hanging installations, to the ins and outs of the business end of floristry, to the truly one-of-a-kind ‘Three Weddings in Three Days’ epic, each of the one, two and three day workshops will guarantee you the benefits of my extensive knowledge and experience.
You’ll receive a wealth of information and resources, and intensive hands-on experience in a warm and friendly atmosphere that will push your floristry forward and leave you full of new ideas.
Classes are kept small, to give you as much 1:1 time with me as possible, and also to give you the greatest chance to get to know your fellow florists. The workshops take place at a variety of locations around Herefordshire, including my lovely purpose-built barn workshop at Lyne Down Organics, which includes 18 acres of pasture and hedgerow that are ripe for the foraging.
All workshop attendees will receive access to a private Facebook group for continued mentoring, and you’ll find this a wonderfully lively community full of advice, ideas, support and mutual appreciation.

THE BUSINESS OF FLOWERS
In many ways, as a weddings and events florist, the floral designs are only the tip of the iceberg. This wide-ranging and informative workshop with Sabine will cover the many other aspects of running a successful floristry business, from pricing and profitability, to finding and working with your ideal clients and everything in between.
Whether you’re an established florist or someone just starting out, there’s material here that will prove invaluable as your business grows. You’ll receive exercises and worksheets on the day, and a 2-part E book afterwards to help you keep moving forward.
