Hands arranging flowers

Today (21 March) is National Flower Day, a celebration that arrives in perfect harmony with the first day of spring. It’s a time to appreciate the beauty, colour, and joy that flowers bring into our lives, as well as the fresh sense of renewal the season represents.

From brightening homes to marking life’s special moments, flowers have a timeless way of lifting spirits and connecting people.

National Flower Day encourages us to pause and enjoy their natural beauty whether that means admiring a wildflower meadow, planting new blooms in the garden, or surprising a loved one with a carefully chosen bouquet.

At Hadlow College, our Floristry courses give students the chance to turn their love of flowers into a rewarding career.

Working in our dedicated floristry studios and design spaces, learners gain hands-on experience conditioning and arranging fresh flowers, foliage, and plants and develop practical skills and a deep understanding of design principles.

Students benefit from regular deliveries of fresh materials from trusted industry suppliers, ensuring they work with high-quality, on-trend products. They also have opportunities to showcase their creativity through installations in our beautiful Broadview Gardens, as well as at high-profile events such as the Chelsea Flower Show.

The curriculum covers everything from business management and marketing to event floristry and trend forecasting, equipping graduates with the skills needed to thrive in the industry. With expert staff who bring a wealth of current industry knowledge, our courses are ideal for anyone seeking employment in floristry or looking to progress to a higher level.
