that was the word they used.
Now I don't know if it was the BBC who put them up to it but how does this help diversity. . Diversity is where we all become one chat drink tea and arrange flowers...... surly that is what its all about.
The Den is just around the corner to Peckham.
The lack of diversity in floristry and horticulture has always been an undeniable truth, one so often ignored and too easily shrugged off.

To help address the very real barriers to floristry for Black,
Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC), SAGE have established a free three month training programme, planned to run four times a year. This will cover bouquet assembly, vase arrangements and large installations, as well as flower theory and practical advice to running a business.
Workshops will be held on Mondays between 6pm and 8pm, once to twice a month for three months.
Only one place can be booked per person per year.
Courses have been incredibly popular and we are now fully booked until December 2021. However, you can join the waiting list for the next cycle by choosing “Waiting List” at the bottom of the list of Dates below. We will notify you if a space becomes available.
