Are there any additional costs associated with the course?
The College provides the basic flowers, foliage, and materials needed to complete your weekly design. However, you’ll be asked to bring some additional foliage each week to enhance your arrangements—your tutor will provide guidance on this during the first session.
You will also need to bring your own container, such as a jug or hanging basket. This will be discussed in more detail in the first class.
Please bring a pair of floristry or household scissors.
If you are sensitive to handling flowers or foliage, we recommend wearing gardening or rubber gloves.
