It’s definitely worth doing a recognised floristry course at Reaseheath. I myself am a former student and there’s no doubt that my courses there helped me to get where I am now.
Reaseheath has a prestigious standing within floristry because of the years of support it has given to the industry, and most employers know it well.
As well as giving florists advanced and current design skills, the Level 4 programme delivers important business skills such as new ways of marketing in this electronic age.
The intrinsic approach of the courses is to facilitate you to tailor the development of your floral design skills towards your own personal style enabling you to blaze your own trail. In addition, you will research current and cultural trends adapting design styles to meet the increasingly diverse requirements of the floristry industry.
An emphasis on employing eco-friendly working practices ensures that you are in an excellent position to drive forward the rise in sustainable ways to create stunning floral displays.
Self-exploration will augment independence and develop confidence to be able to deal with the changing nature of commercial floristry, both in design style and rapidly developing marketing techniques.
Exciting career opportunities

Flowers are fabulous. They’re guaranteed to make people smile, and that’s why floristry is such a fantastic career.
It all started at the RHS Flower Show Tatton Park, where I was acting as a host. I was blown away by all the floral displays but the one I adored most was a competition entry by Reaseheath students.
I tried a taster session, found I could transfer my creative skills to floristy and began working my way up through the levels. I’ve since been on medal winning teams at RHS Tatton Park and RHS Chelsea, competed at WorldSkills UK and won individual awards at prestigious floristry competitions.
I’m still learning new techniques so my journey’s far from over!
