He may be bit of a shrinking violet but only so many people can tell you you should set up a flower school before you take note.

So now our own head honcho florist, Danny Preston, who despite his shy demeanour has a reputation as one of the best in the business, is sharing his extensive floral knowledge at the Tudor Rose Flower School – passing on the skills which have given him so much job satisfaction as well as considerable personal pleasure.

The warm and informal coaching sessions – held in the brand new design space created at our beautifully refurbished shop in Hatter Street, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk – will be fun and informative with a magical sparkling of Danny’s unique brand of inspiration.

Morning, afternoon and evening workshops, of between six and eight people, are perfect for groups of friends and family looking for that special “experience” outing.

Learn to make the lush Christmas door wreath you’ve dreamed of creating or how to transform a bucket of stems into a beautiful bespoke bouquet. Whatever the results, cake and fuzz will celebrate your achievements!

Danny and his talented team also offer in-depth tuition for people looking to gain more formal floristry experience – possibly as the foundation for a new career.
