The Floristry Career Reset.

You don’t need a new hobby.

​

You need work that fits who you are now.

If you’ve found yourself drawn to flowers — not casually, but persistently — it’s often a sign that something deeper is shifting.

​

Many people who come to floristry are:

• Changing direction later than they expected

• Returning to work after raising children

• Wanting something creative and meaningful

• Craving work that fits around family and real life

• Wondering if it’s “too late” to begin

​

The Floristry Career Reset was created for this exact moment.

​

This is not a casual course

​

It’s a supported career change

The Floristry Career Reset is a £3,000, in-person programme designed for beginners and career changers who want to move into floristry professionally — without rushing, without pressure, and without having to figure everything out alone.

​

You’ll learn:

• Professional floristry skills

• How different floristry paths really work (weddings, funerals, everyday floristry)

• The business foundations you actually need

• How to price properly and sustainably

• How to build confidence as you grow

​

This programme is intentionally small, personal, and taught in person so you’re properly supported every step of the way.

 

Who this programme is for

​

This programme is for you if:

• You’re considering floristry as a second career

• You’re a beginner or near-beginner

• You want to learn properly, not rush

• You want to build something that fits around your life

​

This programme is not for:

• Hobbyists looking for a short course

• People wanting the cheapest option

• Those unwilling to engage with the business side

• Anyone looking for a quick qualification without depth

​

• Format: In-person only

• Location: Highgate Florist & Flower School

• Duration: 10 weeks

• Group size: Small cohort

​

Each session is calm, practical, and supportive — with time for questions, repetition, and confidence to grow.

Sometimes a new chapter doesn’t begin with certainty

It begins with a feeling that it’s time.
