Entry requirements

You will need to provide your own plant material i.e. flowers and foliage, containers, mechanics, floral foam and accessories (sometimes needed for the design) each week. Good pairs of scissors and secateurs, a notebook and pen and table covering are also needed together with a camera or smart phone to record your work each week. For the first lesson please bring a selection of flowers and foliage with Spring in mind, together with a basket of your choice with or without a handle. If you basket is not watertight you will need a container which fits comfortably into it. Lined baskets should be checked before use as they have a tendency to develop small holes which let the water out and can damage the furniture!, Floral foam and basic mechanics are available to purchase in class.
