Today is the perfect day, as it’s Florist Friday, to make a very special announcement about my new venture…something which I hinted about on Instagram last week. I’m SO excited to let you know that I’m launching workshops especially for florists, starting with a Social Media for Florists workshop in London on Tuesday, 1st July!
As I’m sure you’re aware, I’m passionate about the floristry industry and with my background in training from my old job in the City, I’m so looking forward to sharing all my knowledge about Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and Blogging with you, to help you grow your business. And I can’t wait for you to meet the truly inspirational lady who I’m collaborating with on this workshop, Fiona Humberstone. She is the go-to person for branding know-how (and also happens to adore flowers too…as you’ll see from her Instagram feed!)
As for the venue…well…we really did search high and low, wanting to find somewhere which had the right atmosphere for creatives like you. And I’m thrilled to have secured Brixton East, a 19th Century warehouse full of character.
Details of this jam-packed day are below:
So, if you’d like to join Fiona and I on our very first Social Media for Florists workshop, simply pop over to Eventbrite to secure your place. Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. It would so lovely to see you there…

Hi, this sounds fabulous but I can’t get time off during the week. Maybe if this ones a success a weekend workshop would be amazing! 😀
Thank you very much Rachel. We’ll definitely bear it in mind. 🙂
Hi Rona, I love to see you spreading the word for florists who want to succeed online. I have the great responsibility of managing the social media for a local florist who is a friend of mine and I absolutely love it! If I were in London I’d be there for sure! Keep up the good work. PS we’re @floralbuds on twitter.
Hi Jamie, thank you very much for your lovely comment and feedback :-). I’m sure you’re really enjoying looking after your florist friend’s social media accounts. I’m following you on Twitter already :-). Best wishes, Rona
Hello there!
This sounds really interesting, but this deep in wedding season, getting away from the business is impossible! If there are plans for an Autumn workshop, please let us know. Love the blog!

Hi Beth
Thank you very much for your message. If we run another one, we’ll be promoting it on Flowerona and social media :-).
Sorry you can’t make this one, but glad to hear you’re so busy…

Hi Rona
Sounds like an amazing course. Alas I can’t make it to London next week but am definitely interested in it. Are there plans to run future courses outside London or with the option for online participation? Would be great to roll out to those of us in the sticks!!
Hope life is going well. Seems you are busier than every!
Best wishes

Hi Suzi
Thank you so much. We don’t have any plans for future courses at the moment. But your suggestions are definitely something to consider. 🙂
I’m well thank you..and yes, busier than ever!
Best wishes

Hi Rona,
I was just wondering what programme you used to make the lovely flyers above. I really like the transparent box effect so you can still see what is behind the text, but with a darker box.
Thanks
