We know how hard it is to find the right course for you, and to commit to the right offer. We get it. Your cash is hard-earned and you don’t want to waste time or money on the wrong thing.
We recognise that you are coming into floristry from different starting points, and with different needs — depending on your current business model or situation. You need to learn at your own pace and fit it in with other commitments. You need to find people that understand your particular situation and background. You need to learn eco floristry that is relevant to YOU and YOUR level of experience.
We’ve asked our students and our customers and listened to what you’ve told us. We’ve developed and curated three distinct eco floristry training programmes, for three very different levels of experience and income streams.
So — whether you are a hobbyist, a flower farmer, or a florist looking to ditch the foam: we have got the answer for you.
You are fairly new to floristry, or love doing it as a hobby, and would like to know and understand the fundamentals to kickstart your floristry ambitions. You want to learn in a fun, engaging and environmentally-conscious way — without out-moded methods and old-fashioned techniques.
You are keen to explore the idea of Farewell Flower Services, want to learn eco-friendly techniques and build your skillset. Perhaps you grow your own flowers, or have had success with local gift bouquet orders and want to expand. It may be a business or career change, or a side hustle. Perhaps you run a flower farm and want to add this lucrative income stream.
You are ready to explore the idea of offering Wedding Florals — as a lucrative income stream, to develop your flower farm offer, to start a new floral business venture, or to upgrade your existing skills. You love weddings and the creative side of floristry, are keen to learn the business side of things and you'd love to learn eco-friendly methods WITHOUT floral foam.

“As a cut flower grower, sustainability has always been at the heart of everything we do. Having floristry skills increases the opportunity for diverse income streams — providing wedding florals, funeral flowers, or even just for packaging and presenting our flowers to take to market and direct to consumers. It has really elevated our business growth.
I’d encourage all flower farmers to look at the many diverse forms of income — it’s so important to have all of these areas covered, to be a profitable flower farm in an increasingly crowded marketplace.”
“Like so many florists, I spent years on the wrong training route — hours and hours of out-moded theory, watching demos and creating designs with the same ingredients as everyone else, so that everything looked the same, and all of it in nasty floral foam.
I had to un-learn so many bad habits, and then discover, trial and test eco-friendly, no-foam techniques on my own. I’m determined to teach people a better way.”
