This year, we will move out of the Capital to the flower design studio in
Weston super Mare. London is experiencing a busy and
eventful period with lots of excessive cost. As you see from the dates of 2012
we are in mid week so as students can go to the RHS Malvern flower show
right after the class as well as on to the Dutch Floriade from Bristol airport.
We are putting on a programme which is once again different
and adds to the experience that Flower Design of Britain always delivers
year on year and why master class is the time to up your knowledge.
