Create wonderful, seasonal floral designs and learn tips to get the best from your cut stems.  With a range of floral designs from vintage to contemporary, you will try something different each week to enjoy fresh for the weekend.

The course is at beginner to intermediate level but is not entirely suitable for absolute beginners, although with some general flower knowledge you will be fine.

A starter pack of containers and equipment is available. You will provide your own plant material each week; the tutor can also provide some.

Keep Up to Date

We no longer produce an annual brochure. This is simply because things change so quickly—we're always adding new courses, workshops and events, and a printed brochure can’t keep up! Not printing the brochure also helps us save on costs, so we can spend more on improving the activities and facilities we offer.

But don’t worry—getting the latest information is still easy. You can find up-to-date details of all our courses, workshops and events on our website, and we continue to put notices on the boards inside the Settlement building, just as before.

If you’d like up to date information sent straight to you, please sign up for our regular Settlement Newsletter. It’s a friendly way to stay in the loop, and we’re here to help if you need a hand with anything.
