Arranging flowers and plant material is an enjoyable, creative and therapeutic activity, that can give much pleasure to both the florist and customer alike. During the course you will learn the basic skills required for work in a florist shop environment.
You will be following a recognised Agored Cymru course with accreditation. The purpose and aim will be to know materials, equipment and learn design styles and techniques utilised in floristry. Working with others in a classroom setting provides an opportunity to meet like-minded people from diverse backgrounds with whom you can share ideas and discuss design solutions and outcomes.
