The college provides the basic flowers, foliage, and sundry materials needed to complete your designs. 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 containers, such as a vase or basket depending on the design. This will be discussed in more detail in the first class.
It is a mandatory requirement for you to bring a pair of floristry or household scissors.
If you are sensitive to handling flowers or foliage, we recommend wearing gardening or rubber gloves.
