Sabine Darrall Floral

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 for 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.

Browse the following collection of workshops and see which one sparks your imagination, and please click below to see some of the alumni from previous years.

A fully compostable casket spray, made with no foam and no wire, using simple, natural mechanics that keep the design lightweight and secure. With no water source, flower choice becomes critical: I rely on long-lasting varieties and evergreen foliages, often keeping the bulb attached on spring flowers giving them their own water source.
Before leaving the studio, the entire piece is thoroughly sprayed and hessian is placed underneath to protect surfaces.

It was encouraging to finally see a recent newspaper article drawing attention to the environmental impact of floral foam and plastic in funeral tributes, it feels important to keep demonstrating practical alternatives. 

This is not new territory — it’s something I started talking about over ten years ago after being shocked at the sheer scale of foam and plastic from crematoriums going to landfill. I wrote to  key industry people along with journalists and the press and met with no response or with indifference. 

Ironically florists are now facing another challenge.
With more people opting for simple funerals with little or no ceremony, we’re seeing a real reduction in flowers for funerals— something that directly affects florists’ livelihoods. And that feels really sad.
Flowers are often the last tangible thing someone can do for a loved one they’ve lost. The act of choosing them, giving them, and seeing them placed goes far beyond decoration. Funeral flowers are not a modern habit — they are part of the grieving process and a  tradition going back to Ancient Greece.

Finding sustainable alternatives to traditional tributes isn’t just an environmental conversation. It’s about protecting a ritual, supporting our industry, and ensuring flowers continue to have a place at funerals.

You don’t always need expensive focal flowers — 
There are other ways to create an overall look that’s just as eye-catching.
This clip is taken from my full tutorial on creating a foam-free glass vase design, where I explain the mechanics and the design process for this pretty elevated centrepiece. 
The full tutorial can be found in the Blossom & Prosper library.

Want to join me? 
 @blossomandprosper  membership is only £12 a month and gives you access to a huge library of floristry tutorials, resources and recipes.
