BECOME THE FLORIST YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE

WELCOME TO JOSEPH MASSIE’S UK SCHOOL OF FLORISTRY

At our Flower School we teach more than just how to make a colourful vase of flowers - we believe it’s our purpose to educate, empower, and inspire all of our students; both in their love of flowers and in crafting the creative career of their dreams.

Based in the buzzing, creative city of Manchester, England, we provide a range of educational offerings to suit any flower lover. Whether you’re searching for hands on classes, filled with sustainably sourced, British grown flowers, or seeking a Masterclass to take your skills - and business - the next level, UKSOF has the perfect course for you.

Led by Joseph Massie, a five time RHS Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medalist, and the British Florist Association’s own UK Florist of the Year 2024, we promise you won’t find a better place to learn, wherever you are on your floral journey.

CREATIVITY WITH A CONSCIENCE

LOCALLY GROWN FLOWERS, LOCALLY MADE TOOLS

During the British growing season (which is variable, but usually from late March through to October) our School sources flowers from surrounding flower farms (and two of our flower farmer friends tutor our classes too!).

Taking this ethos a little further, our School is housed within Manchester’s Makers Quarter, a colourful creative community home to wood-workers, potters, bakers and other craftsmen. Some of the bowls and vessels are crafted on site, by our talented neighbours. Career Course treats are baked by our friendly in-house vegan baker. Ribbons are sourced from local dyers.

Provenance matters. We use as much British sourced product as possible, wherever possible.

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE TRIAL AND ERROR

WITH THE RIGHT CLASSES, COACHING & COMMUNITY

At UKSOF we’re serious about supporting our students not just during their course, but long after they’ve left our greenhouse class room too.

It’s one of the reasons Joseph created Flower Class, the revolutionary floral membership - packed with coaching, community, and over 300+ classes on floral design, business and creativity.

Wherever you are in your floral journey, and no matter how long it’s been since your hands on class with us, with Joseph’s support in Flower Class you’ll have the knowledge, strategies and support to take control of your career, craft a profitable business, and become the floral designer you've always wanted to be.

Joseph does not, and never has followed “industry rules” - but after completing only his Level 2 Certificate, he went on to win five consecutive Gold Medals at RHS Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medals, and build a seven figure business, on his own terms. Inside Flower Class, he shares how he did it, and how you can do it too - it doesn’t have to be trial and error.
