Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, this is absolutely the course content for you. The 40+ course videos and textbooks will guide you step by step through the basics and foundational skills and knowledge required to be a florist. The course also includes hours of business training, both pre-recorded and live, specific to running your own floristry business, whether it be from home or a retail outlet.
Yes, you can absolutely skip the design tutorials and just watch & learn what you require. Please keep in mind, the course content is released over 12 weeks so you won’t receive all the content at once, it is designed to take you from the basics of floristry & business through to more complex design techniques and business strategies, building your business up to succeed.
Hint: We recommend using the foundational skills and design tutorials for training your staff, even friends and family who might be helpers!
The content does not have an expiry date and is always available for you in your online membership area, so there’s no rush. We suggest dedicating approximately 3-4 hours per week to study.
To ensure we can deliver this course to you regardless of your location, we have removed a large cost of the course content by not supplying you with the flowers required to create each design that is taught. The added benefits of not supplying and charging you the cost of the flowers allows you to go at your own pace, meaning you can decide to create each design when you choose. On top of that, you get to choose a variety of colours of flowers to your own liking and taste. We highly recommend buying what’s in season within your region. You are better able to achieve this by sourcing your own materials. Knowing how and what to buy and who to buy from are all part of the early course content.
Meet Yvette
"I believe flowers are essential to our self-fulfilment. Their energy is food for the soul."
For Yvette Timmins, flowers are more than just a profession – they are a family legacy. With a Grandmother, Great Aunt, and Great-Grandmother who were all florists, it would be easy to say that creativity is in her blood. However, Yvette believes that the art of floristry isn’t a special skill reserved for the chosen few; it is an innate ability available to anyone willing to silence their inner critic and connect with nature.
With over 30 years in the industry, Yvette has truly “done it all.” She has climbed every rung of the ladder, moving from a Casual Assistant to Senior Florist, Shop Manager, and Shop Owner, eventually becoming a Floristry Teacher and the Principal of Bloom College, which she founded in 2013. Her leadership extends to the national stage, where she served as a founding director and board member of Flower Industry Australia.
Beyond the business of blooms, Yvette is a champion for the mental health benefits of creativity. She has witnessed firsthand how working with nature decreases anxiety and nurtures the soul. This passion led her to co-found the charity Floral Acts of Kindness and to write her recently published book, Feed Your Soul with Flowers.
Today, through her online membership and app, Yvette is dedicated to ensuring that geography and physical ability are no longer barriers to learning. She is here to help you grow your business and feed your soul, one stem at a time.
