Spring Garlands - Floristry Workshops

What opportunities will this course give me?

Do you love art and being creative with different materials and flowers? Then come and join our Spring Garlands Floral workshops, specifically designed for adults with mild to moderate learning disabilities.

This is a leisure course designed to be fun and engaging. Whilst there is no official progression, learners are welcome to re-enrol on to this course or try one of our other Adult Enrichment courses.

This course is suitable for learners who want to experiment with different skills and techniques with flowers and shrubs, find their own floral art style, or just get creative.

What will I be learning?

This course offers 5 sessions which progress step by step through theory, practical and demonstrations. You will look at a variety of floral types and styles.

Why is this course for me?

You will be taught by a tutor who has over 15 years experience in floristry and runs her own business - Hummingbird Creations in Hedge End. She is passionate about passing on her skills and promoting sustainable floristry that is accessible to all.

Your tutor will be patient, passionate, and knowledgeable.
The sessions will be informative, practical and fun.

There is no formal assessment or exam. You will be taught through a mixture of presentation, discussion & practical tasks. An Eastleigh College certificate can be awarded on request following successful completion of the course.
