“The Sustainable Large Scale Installation Course at the Bath Flower School is something I would highly recommend to anyone looking to strengthen their skills in floristry.

Their kindness and friendliness is so welcoming and their knowledge of the industry is honestly invaluable, I was so grateful of their openness in answering all of our questions. I left feeling really inspired and excited for future projects!” – Isabel walker - Sustainable Large Scale Installations Course

Good Morning Lovelies – Happy Monday!

So, it’s officially the first day of the kids summer holiday and in typical style it’s a dreary one!! Just like many of you, the juggling act begins. 6 weeks of holding down a business whilst keeping the kids entertained. Not always the easiest but definitely a perk of being self-employed is that you have opportunity to do just that. Things will be a little quieter on here, we’ll be dipping in and out of Insta but will still be sharing some flowery love with you all.

Wishing everyone a fabulous start to the summer. See you on the other side 🤣

“I had the most inspiring, happy two weeks at The Bath Flower School on the Professional Floristry course. It’s a wonderful balance of learning practical skills with incredible flowers, combined with Verity and Saffy’s knowledge and experience and well chosen guest speakers in the industry. Verity and Saff have worked hard to create a really informative course to cover all areas needed to take the next step into a career with flowers and there are some lovely thoughtful, unexpected treats along the way.

Don’t take our word for it. Hear what the students have to say about our courses, us, and our flower school…

“It was amazing to me that so much valuable floristry content was covered in only two weeks! Verity and Saffy shared their expertise, teaching techniques and skills, including how to condition the wide selection of flowers and foliage, how to create beautiful hand tied bouquets, gorgeous compote bowl arrangements, glamorous large vase designs and, as a group, a dramatic broken arch installation at a local church. I found Saffy and Verity to be kind and thoughtful, encouraging each of us to find our unique style and giving welcome guidance and feedback. I also learned practical business skills such as pricing up arrangements, how to take Instagram worthy photos of floral designs, the importance of effective branding and marketing, and how to creatively use social media. My experience was amazing! I was excited to start each new day and loved getting to know those who completed the course with me. I left feeling truly confident in my ability to create beautiful, thoughtfully considered floral designs and that I had taken a huge personal step forward. The pastries, cups of tea and delicious home made cake certainly made the course even better! Don’t hesitate to take this Professional Floristry course, it is such a worthwhile investment!” – Bridget Poole – Professional Floristry Course

Don’t take our word for it. Hear what the students have to say about our courses, us, and our flower school…

“Keen to enhance floristry skills I attended a two week professional floristry course with Verity & Saffy in 2021. It was heaven to be surrounded daily in gorgeous blooms & to spend time being creative & learning from two of the kindest, most friendly women you’ll ever meet, an experience I’ll never forget.

With skills learnt I was able to expand my business as a grower of British flowers, to include floristry for weddings & funeral commissions.

The course also includes mini sessions on photography & social media & an added bonus was the connections made with other participants who quickly became friends.

I’ve just returned from a bridal bouquet day course, a real treat for me to revisit skills ready for this wedding season & to be surrounded by floral creativity

Don’t hesitate to book if you are thinking about either course….& if you have the available time I would absolutely recommend indulging in the 2 week course, it’s so worth it!” – Sue Padfield – Professional Floristry Course & Bridal Bouquets Workshop

“My children bought me the three day basic floristry course for my birthday and it has been the best gift I have ever received! It was joyful to be surrounded by the most beautiful flowers and people. The teaching style is relaxed and supportive and no previous experience is needed just a love of flowers. The support and inspiration from the other students was immense. A huge thanks to Saffy and Verity for creating a unique learning environment.

“I’ve just finished the 3 day Floristry Basics course at The Bath Flower School and I had the most amazing time amongst the most beautiful flowers. I really enjoyed finding my own personal style whilst being surrounded by lovely people and lots of inspiration!

It is such a gorgeous, calming space and Saffy and Verity are so supportive, friendly, and warm with great teaching styles. I’ve really struggled with the spiral technique previously but the hand tied bouquet I made during this course is the best I’ve ever made and the boost it has given to my confidence is priceless so it’s fair to say the amount I learnt in just 3 days is a great deal I can’t wait to take what I’ve learnt and put it in to practice!

I actually felt quite sad leaving at the end of day 3 but I’m very excited for my future in floristry and I’m already eyeing up other courses in the future!.” – Emma Jordan – Floristry Basics Course

World Earth Day is one of the most prominent annual awareness days that sheds light on the importance of our planet’s health and our individual roles in preserving it.
This year’s theme is Planet vs Plastics, which aims to bring attention to the serious issue of plastic pollution and how it harms nature.

At The Bath Flower School we aim to be as environmentally friendly as we can, making decisions about what products we use, buy and promote. We have never used any flower foam and don’t use any single use plastics. We teach sustainable mechanics and our aim is to try and educate the next generation of florists that there are other ways to create beautiful flower arrangements both big and small without using products that cause harm to the environment both in their production and disposal.

Join us in our mission to cultivate eco-conscious floristry and inspire florists to adopt environmentally friendly approaches!

“I attended the Wedding Flower course last year and loved every single moment. Verity and Saffy are absolute fountains of knowledge when it comes to floristry, which I knew to be true before even attending. What I didn't know was how excellent they would be at making you feel comfortable in providing the most relaxing, fun and joyful environment in which to learn. The whole week felt like a total dream and went by far too quickly.. I learnt so much, the flowers were just gorgeous and lets not forget the important bit... The snacks and selections of tea to keep us going were top notch too (Lady Grey, amazing!!) Thank you both so very much.” – Keely Jones – Wedding Flowers Course

Our Story

Hi, we’re Verity and Saffy and we formed The Bath Flower School in 2019 when an opportunity arose for us to working together. Between us we have over 40 years experience in flowers, floristry, weddings, events, flower schools and teaching. We both have very clear ideas about what makes a good flower school. This is our chance to put that into practice and inspire the future generation of florists.

Our classes are fun, informative, friendly and relaxed. Our teaching style is informal and generous. We pride ourselves on being approachable and personable. And of course the flowers will always take centre stage and are the best quality we can get our hands on. We like flowers to look as natural as possible, relishing natures twists and turns and imperfections. We work very closely with local growers and have always been leaders rather than followers when it comes to ideas and innovation. We love working together and can’t wait to share all of our ideas and expertise with you. At the The Bath Flower School we are completely foam free and strive to minimise our negative impact on the environment at every opportunity. We also love, support and advocate… British flowers and British growers, ethical and sustainable floristry, togetherness and inclusivity and individuality and creativity.
