Gather and Create with Organic Blooms: Advanced Classes
SOLD OUT!

After a very successful first Gather and Create run in 2025, we are introducing a series of Gather and Create advanced classes for 2026, during which you will spend time at our Soil Association-certified organic flower farm in South Gloucestershire creating beautiful arrangements using sustainable floristry techniques.

There will be four Gather and Create advanced classes spread over the spring and summer. You will see our flower field through the growing season and have the opportunity to cut from our gorgeous range of certified organic flowers and foliage. We have selected a variety of arrangements that will extend your skills and introduce you to group work in floristry.

This course is suitable for those with some previous experience, including previous Gather and Create participants and those considering a career in floristry, who are looking to further their skills and experience. The group will be small and the classes will be delivered by expert florists and flower growers Wendy Paul (Organic Blooms director and head florist) and Lou O’Brien (Organic Blooms florist), both experienced, qualified florists and flower growers. Full course details below.

£340 including all materials.
You have the option to pay in full on booking or to pay half on booking and half by 1st April 2026 (we will invoice you for the second payment).
