My Core Belief
Ever since I was little I have learnt the importance of celebrating others. As a child growing up with two older sisters, there were many things they could do which I could not. Instead of seeing their achievements as a threat, I was taught to celebrate them, grow from them.
The importance of seeing others and celebrating other peoples successes is an important tool to take into our professional lives. By championing one another and bringing support, we can build a community, a supportive network which enables us all to reach our full potential.
The School
At Flourish I wanted to develop courses that incorporated floristry design that embraced art, design and nature. A school which celebrated the seasons and was lead by sustainable methods. For me it was imperative that the career courses taught at Flourish Sussex Flower School covered all the vital and fundamental designs used in the floristry industry, which had a strong emphasis on students style development.
Creativity
At the Flourish we want all our students to see themselves as individual artists. No two students are the same, therefore as their teachers myself and my team will guide each student to find their own individual style of floristry, which encompasses their creative flare and imagination.
Unlike more traditional courses, we celebrate that everyone is unique, therefore no two designs will ever be the same.
From Passion to Prefessional
Before embarking on one of our career courses you will fill out a questionnaire so we can get a sense of the journey that you wish to embark on. By finding out what has bought you to floristry, your passions (besides flowers) we will gentle guide you onto a path which will meet both your creative and business goals.

The Flourish Community
One of the aspects that I am most proud of at the school, is the community of florists and growers that have graduated. So many flower friendships have been formed and many of our students go onto freelance for each other and support one another in their professional lives.
We also have many of our students who have established businesses return to the school to talk to our trainees and demonstrate.
It is a beautiful and supportive community, a vital tool when as florists you often work on your own.

Embarking on a new journey is always nerve wracking, but one of the most important parts of the process is to find an educational setting which provides a creative, fun, relaxed, informative, safe environment for you to learn in.
Once you have completed courses at Flourish Sussex, help and support is always on hand to guide you to build confidence and self belief.
