You’ll work with locally grown, seasonal blooms while learning the real foundations of floristry — not just how to arrange, but how to think and work like a professional florist.Overview: At Botaniculture, flowers start in the ground — not in a bucket. Each week, you’ll work with locally grown flowers, freshly picked from our own farm or thoughtfully sourced from nearby growers, always naturally in season. You’ll experience how availability shifts week to week, how colour palettes are shaped by climate, and how stem length, texture, and structure influence your design decisions. Rather than forcing an outcome, you’ll learn to respond to what the season offers. This practical understanding — working with nature instead of against it — is what underpins sustainable, long-lasting floral work. All farm-grown flowers, vessels, and eco-friendly design materials are provided, along with the use of floristry tools and styling props. Read more details
