SOLD OUT!

After a very successful first run in 2025, Gather and Create returns for 2026, spending time at our Soil Association-certified organic flower farm in South Gloucestershire creating beautiful arrangements using sustainable floristry techniques.

There will be six Gather and Create sessions spread through the year. You will see our flower field through the seasons and have the opportunity to cut from our gorgeous range of certified organic flowers and foliage. As well as creating a different style of arrangement each session, throughout the year you will learn key skills including cutting, conditioning & flower varieties.

This course is suitable for beginners wanting to learn how to make arrangements for the home or those considering a career in floristry and flower growing. The group will be small and the course 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.

£575 including all materials. You will receive a pair of Niwaki snips and a floristry bucket at the first session.
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).
