I have attended about 19 of Jo's workshops over the last 2- 3 years  and I can honestly say that I have enjoyed all of them.  They are very good  value for money. Jo provides everything you need for the session so you don't have to shop around or bring anything which is handy  if you have limited time or not sure what flowers etc to get. Her designs are lovely and she  always provides ample amounts of beautiful big flowers which you can take home with you if you don't use them all, and a variety of different foliage .

I have looked at other flower arranging workshops online and I can say that Jo's is by far the best simply because she knows what goes well together and provides such beautiful things.

Jo has a variety of lessons in different locations. She explains things well and appears well organised .

If you are looking for flower arranging workshops in her area I recommend you try her sessions''. Gill - March 2026

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
