Discover the Joy of Floristry — One Bloom at a Time! Creative workshops and courses in Fareham, Hampshire
Welcome to Driftwood & Daisies Flower School
Hello, I'm Jo Parker — the proud proprietor of Driftwood and Daisies Flower School, an independent floral school based in the coastal village of Hill Head, Fareham.
I've been teaching floristry and flower arranging since 2001, and it's truly one of the most rewarding parts of my "flowery" world. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, flower arranging is a wonderfully creative and fulfilling hobby. There's something incredibly special about designing your own floral creations — and even more joy in gifting them to someone else.
If you’d like to learn the basics of flower arranging in a relaxed and friendly environment, why not take a look at my upcoming workshops? Simply click Book a Workshop to see what’s coming up — you might just find something you’d love to try!
I look forward to welcoming you soon.
Warm wishes,
Jo

News
Driftwood and Daisies has now become a Flower School only. Apologies, but I no longer offer funeral flowers and gift bouquets. I hope this news does not disappoint but thank you for visiting my website.
If you would like to be the first to know my new dates then please join my mailing list below. This is incredibly useful for September when my Christmas dates are launched. They sell out very quickly!
Customer Quotes
I honestly cannot recommend Jo’s workshops enough. As a complete novice with a passion for ‘dabbling’ with flowers (but absolutely no skill or knowledge!) I signed up for Driftwood & Daisy’s wedding flower workshop. Jo’s coaching skills, patience & encouragement enabled me to produce arrangements, button holes & best of all a bridal bouquet - beyond all my expectations. So much so - I had the confidence (& new found skills) to do my own daughter’s wedding flowers last year!
From this 1 workshop I have gone on to complete the introduction to floristry course along with Christmas wreath workshops in 2022 & 2023. Am looking forward to doing some more in 2024.
Not only do these workshops give you the confidence & skill to achieve your very own ‘work of art’ under the skilful direction of Jo, you also get a well deserved & undisturbed opportunity for mindfulness & ‘me’ time. If anyone is undecided about whether to do any one of the workshops - just go for it! You will not be disappointed “

Jo is a gifted and inspirational teacher who brings out the best in her pupils. It doesn't matter at what level you are working, everyone leaves with the feeling they have achieved - no mean feat as at our workshops there is a wide range of experience from a qualified florist to more or less beginners. I would warmly recommend a Driftwood and Daisies' workshop to any of my friends because I know they would have a very enjoyable experience.

Fantastic day of floristry today with Joanna. Loved every second of it and can't wait to practice my new skills and do more workshops. Thanks for being such a friendly, informative, patient and fun teacher x Yvonne
