Kays Flower School

This is a fantastic course. Janette and Deirdre were so helpful and supportive throughout the course. You can do it at your own pace and you have the support from Janette and other students in your Bloom Room. Janette is a fantastic teacher and she definitely goes above and beyond to help everyone during the course. I would highly recommend this course and I am delighted that I took the opportunity to do it.

“San Jose” Avondale. Portarlington. Laois. Review: Online Course Module 1 @ Kay’s Flower School. Rialto Dublin. Ireland. Making the decision to an online course came after a great deal of consideration. Purely on the grounds I had attended Kay’s Flower School on other modules in person in their wonderful educational environment in Rialto, Dublin and being a Culchie it involved a car journey to my local railway station, train to Dublin and a Luas ride of only a few minutes followed by a 3 minute walk to the school all within a hour if planned properly and the walk was within an area that one felt safe with plenty going on all around. I was spoiled each time I attended the school; the content and the syllabus were delivered by Janet & Deirdre in the most professional manner. Friendliness beamed from both ladies like a bright shinning light, explanations in every area to detailed depth, topped with a rainbow of colours of flowers, designs, expressed in shape, love, elegance, wildness and splendor of the highest standard of education in the area of floristry and design. Decision made, in the current situation of Covid 19 I stepped into the online course and happily too my place in the Bloom Room which I was assigned to, with expectations of enjoyment but fear of the unknown. Module 1 completed, I am totally over the moon, with the content, explanations, every step so easy to follow, answers to questions as they arose by placing a comment or question in the comment area of the private bloom room or privately by message all catering for ones comfort zone. No question asked was treated with insignificance but treated like a flower treated and nourished to the highest standard resulting in blossoming with pride in oneself. One caught every detail not missing anything with the benefit of the reply button. Materials, notes, flowers & foliage all delivered to your doorstep. It all started with an on-screen journey excitingly eagerly awaited arrival encouraged by two outstanding ladies in the comfort of your own home and time availability. Technology to one’s own comfort but encouraged to try new, give it a go, take photos, be the basic or brave, go for it. Added advantages, playback any section as many times as you like. Pausing Janet, ability to take notes and one’s own pace. Having the screen in front of you as you make each arrangement, Janet step by step beside you in the comfort of your own home. Deirdre always showing live tips on access to areas online and encouragement to explore. My description of the two girls “Like the blousy peony nothing without the rich greenery” just like any brilliant double act one enriched by the other. Thoughts on doing future online Courses: Positives:  Time saved on travel and money saved on travel which totaled about a 1/3rd of the price to the course.  Comfort of your own home.  Speed at one’s own pace.  Reply, reply, reply, Pause.  New friends in the Bloom Room.  Technical support, confidence building.  Total one to one training (with warmth of group involvement.) Negative: Total based on my own personal experience on meeting the girls previously in person, loved meeting them both, a breath of fresh air loved sharing the cuppa plus the wagon wheel or penguin.

I really enjoyed this course. As a complete beginner I found the course well structured and user friendly and the support from Janette and Deirdre is excellent. Also the support from the other students is great and everyone is so encouraging. I would definitely recommend it 😊 Angela Clarke

I have almost completed Module 1 with Janette and Deirdre at Kay's Flower School. At first I was sceptical of the online course as I had completed an online course in the past in a different profession and found it really difficult as you were left very much to your own devices with very little communication from the college. This was not the case with Kays Flower School. The course content was well communicated and easy to follow. Janette and Deirdre were always popping online to check in with us, answering questions and giving us tips and advice. I have really enjoyed the course and learnt so much, I have already enrolled in Module 2 and I am looking forward to learning so much more.

Hello everyone,I must say I really enjoy the course I learned so much..The Conditioning of all types of flowers was very interesting..Thank you Janette and Deirdre for this experience.You were very helpful ❤🌺

Thank you do much for sharing all your knowledge with us over the four weeks. It is very satisfying to see the end product of each arrangement. I really enjoyed every minute of it and Janette and Deirdre are 100% honest and so helpful when talking about the floristry business. I really didn't think I would manage it but you both have so much time to explaining and demonstrating that it was so doable. All the notes and diagrams will be of huge help in the future. The bonus arrangements were a real treat. Many thanks for a great 4 weeks of fun and learning. A1 course.
