Floristry

WHAT'S THE BEST THAT COULD HAPPEN?

Many of our former students have gone on to become self-employed florists, landscape gardeners and horticulturists. We’re also delighted to have produced several winners and runners-up in the Lantra Landbased Awards.

From flower arranging to learning about different flowers and plants, at Glasgow Clyde College our floristry courses are suitable for professionals and hobbyists alike.
