History
The Academy was founded by Gillian Wheeler.
All the tutors are qualified to Post Graduate level in Floral Design and have taught within Further and Higher Education for over fifteen years at the University of the Arts, London (UAL).
Here they developed and delivered a range of highly successful courses in flower design and events, and achieved the highest level of student satisfaction.

Exploring floral techniques alongside innovative and cutting edge ideas. Our students have access to first hand experience working in prestigious and exciting venues which helps them to build a professional portfolio. Unlike most florist courses, we see flower design as an art form and encourage students to use their creativity. You will develop your skills in bringing flowers and design together in an inspirational and entertaining way.
We are located in the heart of Central London's famous Covent Garden, a cosmopolitan meeting place which provides a vibrant mix of fashion, culture, and the arts. Our contemporary interiors include spacious studios, presentation and preparation areas, flower chill rooms, a library and study space and a lounge area with complimentary tea & coffee.
And with a vast and varied knowledge base, The Academy of Flowers is comprised of an effective and established team from a range of creative disciplines.
Areas of specialisation
The uniqueness of our courses stems from the fact that they fuse flowers with design in an artistic manner.
This focus on design sets us apart from many other floristry courses. You will develop an appreciation of colour, structure, form, theme and visualisation.
We will equip you with the skills needed for seeing a project through from the initial brief to successful completion.
Your experience of designing and continually working with flowers will give you confidence in showcasing your work from portfolio to presentation.
