Australia has some of the most extraordinary flowers on earth. In this 90-minute workshop, you'll learn to work with them properly.
Led by Chris Saban and his team at Merchant & Green — one of Sydney's most loved florist studios — you'll create a stunning hand-arranged bouquet using the finest Australian native flowers and foliage available that week. Sourced fresh, selected for colour, texture and seasonal harmony, and arranged using the same techniques our professional florists use every day.
There's more to a wildflower bouquet than it looks. Chris will guide you through selection, combination, balance and form — so what you leave with isn't just beautiful, it's considered.
Walk away with a bouquet you're genuinely proud of, and a new eye for Australian flora.
What You'll Learn
How to select and combine Australian native stems for harmony and contrast
The principles of balance, proportion and form in floristry
How to condition and handle fresh flowers for longevity
Multiple arranging techniques you can use at home
The Experience
Merchant & Green is a working florist and plant studio — not a craft classroom. You'll work inside our light-filled Redfern space, surrounded by premium plants and fresh flowers, guided by florists who buy from Sydney's flower markets every week.
It's the difference between a generic flower class and a genuinely professional floristry experience.
Perfect for
Individuals, couples and friends
Date nights and birthday celebrations
Hens parties and group occasions
Corporate team building
Anyone who wants to understand flowers properly
