Transform your passion to a practical skill.
Set within our working London Flower Studio, this 3-day intensive group course is designed to empower you, guiding you through all the elements from flower care to group installation in a nurturing and non judgmental environment. Once complete, you will have an array of new skills and techniques to either pursue floral design as a career or utilise your new skillset in your own, creative manner.
These are suitable for all levels of experience; centred around hands on floral skills, and building foundations in modern design. See an example of course outline below. All courses are taught by founder Kaiva Kaimins.

Loved flower school - the intimate class size allowed for the conversations to be real, and the experience more memorable. The flowers we used were of high quality and the best I'd ever seen. I'll never forget the stories Kai and Sasha shared from their careers, and the classmates I got to learn alongside. Truly a great program that welcomes all walks of life.

WOW!! I simply don't have the words to express how incredible My Lady Garden is. I had the absolute pleasure of attending flower school in October and it was just the most perfect few days. Kai and Dylan were SO generous with their knowledge, extremely patient with us and no topics were off limit. I learnt so much, a truly invaluable experience. And of course the flowers were out of this world to play with! Just BEAUTIFUL. Amazing few days, an abundance of knowledge, gorgeous souls, sensational florals... couldn't ask for a dreamier way to be immersed in florals and flower life. Thank you x 1 mill xx
