Does the mere mention of the word ‘flowers’ send you into a feverous frenzy? Do you love lilies and have a real penchant for poppies?

If your answer to both those questions was an ardent “ABSOLUTELY!”, then those that rather fancy themselves as florists in Wolverhampton , Woking, Worcester, and everywhere in between will be excited to hear news of the very first Interflora Flower School that’s taking place later this year. 

Britain’s go-to flower delivery service, Interflora, is currently ramping up its preparations for the tutorials, where a panel of experts is going to be imparting a chunk of their coveted industry know-how in time for the festive season, when it will hold several flower-themed classes that will cover traditional Christmas, natural Christmas and continental Christmas flower arranging techniques.

And at £150, these masterclasses are the perfect treat for yourself or a loved one, perhaps even as a Christmas gift. However, if you simply can’t wait another couple of months to begin adorning your home with stunning floral arrangements, then why not search the Internet for the something like ‘flowers Milton Keynes’ or ‘flowers Birmingham’ – whatever your locality – to find out where you can get your next bunch of blooms from? You could even do a bit of home schooling as preparation in time for the classes!

So if the masterclasses sound like your cup of tea, then you’ll need to know that the Interflora Flower School is going to take place in London’s upmarket West End at the beautiful Georgian-style Chandos House. Students can expect to be taught exactly how to create beautiful flower arrangements under the guidance of a panel of Interflora’s most expert and experienced flower arrangers, Karen Barnes, Dutchman Dennis van Wonderen, Sarah Horne, and David Ragg.

These people have been handpicked to make up Interflora’s teaching team because of their combined decades of experience and awards, which makes them absolutely THE best people for the job.

Having been awarded a myriad of sought-after accolades between them, including several gold medals at the renowned RHS Chelsea Flower Show, the panel will be certain to transform their protégés into experts after just one class. For example, Ragg has competed for Britain at both the Interflora World Cup and the Europa Cup, while Horne has been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society’s Florist of the Year award and was also recently pipped as one of the UK’s top 50 florists by the respected Independent newspaper.

Places are set to go fast, so with limited numbers available, make sure you book ASAP if you want to avoid being left out!
