At our studio in Scotland we offer a range of flexible and affordable floristry modules to allow you to pick and choose your bespoke learning experience.

If there is something special you would like to learn, let us know and we’ll try and oblige!

Classes include flowers and materials and you keep all your lovely creations with any vases/ containers available for purchase at cost price. We will give you advice on how best to condition and care for different types of flowers, plus a few insider tips for perfect petals!

Classes take place in our cosy purpose built workshop and run from 10am – 4.30pm with a short break for lunch (provided) and a couple of cups of tea!

Just wanted to let you know that my son got married and I did all the flowers and they were really pleased with them and they looked great in the pictures. Thank you for all your tips. I really enjoyed the course.

I contacted Vanilla Rose to enquire about training and asked for a package that was not on the course list. Rachael came back to me and put together a day’s session with the classes I required. I had a very eventful day and completed my training. What was wonderful for me, was being able to make a “Dad” tribute for my best friends’ dad’s funeral. During the training I learnt loads of tips and put together flowers that I would never have done before. I would like to thank you for the one to-one training you gave me. It was more personal and a pleasure to do the training. It made my day and I know it helped me to fulfil my request to help my friend at a sad time.
