Why join the Floristry Group?
The Cam, Dursley & District Floristry group creates floral arrangements using only British flowers and sustainable mechanics (no Oasis). We also enjoy a couple of trips out each year.
We are a friendly welcoming group and are all learners, there is no one expert!
Members are asked to attend on a regular basis and to help set up the session which usually takes place at Dursley Methodist church on the first Thursday of the month from 10 am. Sessions usually last about 1.5 hours.
Leader Danielle sources the flowers and any mechanics needed (eg chicken wire). The group always pays the cost price which is usually around £10. Some workshops such as wreath making will be more. We also pay for hire of the room and for refreshments.
Topics might include
- Creating floral display with environmentally friendly mechanics (no more oasis!)
- Seasonal arrangements
- Visiting local cutting gardens in season
- Entering flower classes in local shows.
