Are you fanatical about all things floral? Do you have a passion for pansies, petunias and poppies? If so then florists in Wolverhampton to Aberdeen should give serious consideration to popping down to the inaugural Interflora Flower School later this year. 

The UK’s leading flower experts are keen to pass on some trade secrets in the run-up to the festive season in several interesting classes, including natural Christmas, traditional Christmas and continental Christmas.

Really get into the spirit of things this year and treat yourself or somebody dear to you to an early Xmas present that’ll help brighten up any room in the house and bring a touch of class and a splash of colour at Christmas.

If you cannot wait until the end of November to start filling your home with all sorts of different varieties of flowers then stick a relevant phrase like ‘flowers Birmingham’ or ‘flowers Milton Keynes’ into a search engine online to find out more about where you can get hold of a nice colourful bouquet.

Back to the Interflora Flower School and it will take place in the heart of London’s West End at Chandos House, which is a Georgian townhouse that is as easy on the eye as some of the floral delights you’ll be creating under the expert guidance of a team of flower specialists.

Karen Barnes, Sarah Horne, David Ragg and Dennis van Wonderen will head up Interflora’s teaching panel and the quartet are ready, willing and able to pass on decades of experience. What this awesome foursome don’t know about flowers probably isn’t worth knowing!

They have won a host of accolades and awards between them, with Barnes and Ragg both holding the distinction of claiming Gold Medals at the prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show.  Ragg has also flown the flag for the UK at both the Interflora World Cup and the Europa Cup, while Van Wonderen brings a dash of Dutch flair and charisma to proceedings.

As for Horne, she too is held in high regard in the flower industry. In fact, The Independent newspaper have placed her among the top 50 florists in the UK, which is praise indeed for a successful businesswoman who has been crowned the Royal Horticultural Society Florist of the Year in the past.
