Workshops & Private Lessons
"Several times a year, I host flower workshops and offer private lessons in Aalsmeer, the floral capital of the world. These workshops are designed for floral enthusiasts, budding designers, and individuals eager to expand their knowledge of distinctive techniques while working with top-quality flowers. They’re perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in the world of exquisite garden roses and other special blooms, exploring the art and craft of floral design. My workshops provide a wonderful opportunity for a hands-on and enriching experience."
For those who are unable to attend a workshop on specific dates or prefer a personalised experience, we offer a range of customised private floral design lessons and courses.
To receive our workshop program or to book a floral design class, please send us an email with your request.

"I had a day of private lessons with Katya. What a special experience,
I learned so much. Highly recommended! Katya is enthusiastic and very skilled in her profession."

"I am a florist myself and attended the Bridal Bouquet workshop with Katya, alongside other fellow florists. What an enjoyable experience it was, and not just because we were surrounded by an oasis of beautiful flowers. The workshop is divided into a theory part and a practical part. During both segments, Katya takes the time to answer questions and shares her vision and approach with you. Katya is someone who works in a very structured way (which I really appreciate) and also operates very precisely and accurately. She has an eye for detail and also teaches everyone to develop an eye for detail.
The workshop includes a lot of tips and tricks, and Katya explains how she gathers her information. She genuinely dedicates time to the entire group to answer questions, and also to discover our individual interests and respond to them. What I also appreciated was that she took the time to thoroughly go through each person's bouquet and provide tips on how she would approach it herself. Because everything is explained step by step, you will also realize that you can easily apply the theory in practice! In short, highly recommended if you want to attend a workshop."

"Katya gave me inspiration and motivation that I’m capable of doing everything I want to do to achieve my dream — to open my flower shop and work on wedding assignments. She has the best experience and a great background in floristry and styling, with a sophisticated sense for the garden style, so I couldn’t choose any better teacher for my professional development. She is kind, passionate, and motivated to teach and to provide the best guidance for me as her student, so I can have the best information about floral design and the garden style. I would recommend her as a teacher for a beginner or an advanced florist as well. Thank you, Katya, for your passionate teaching."
