Teaching at the Flower School
The teaching on the floristry courses takes place in a light, open and airy ground-floor space. Judith keeps to a limit of 12 students in every class to ensure an intimate, warm and caring atmosphere. Judith teaches on most courses and is supported by an exceptional team of experienced, qualified instructors who currently work in the flower industry. They also delight in passing on their experience, expertise and passion.
The floristry courses are taught in English. However assistance and documentation can be made available in Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Diplomas are given on courses of three days or longer.
If you are not sure which course is most suitable for you, please feel free to call Scarlett at the school anytime to discuss various options. All classes are suitable for beginners with no previous experience. Those with more experience still gain a great deal.
