This bespoke one-to-one floristry session is designed for anyone wanting a personalised, hands-on floral experience at Dove & Myrtle’s flint barn studio located on a working farm, between Lewes and Newhaven.

It’s also ideal if you’re preparing to create flowers for a special event and want expert support along the way.

Before your session, we’ll discuss your goals, whether that’s building floristry skills, exploring design techniques, or gaining a taster of what a longer floristry course might be like. Your one-to-one session will then be fully customised so you get exactly what you need from your time here.

Everything is included: professional floristry tools, refreshments, and an abundance of beautiful, locally sourced flowers to design with.

Held in Dove & Myrtle’s inspiring barn studio, this private floral workshop is open to all levels, including complete beginners. Once you book, I’ll be in touch to arrange your date and begin planning your personalised floristry experience.
