Workshop Terms & Conditions

You can read the full Workshop Terms & Conditions here. By purchasing a workshop ticket, you agree to these terms:

  • All workshop tickets are non-refundable.
  • If you are unable to attend a workshop, you can transfer your ticket to another person or I will try to accommodate you on an alternative workshop date (subject to availability). See full T&C's here.
  • I reserve the right to cancel or postpone workshop dates if required. See full T&C's here.
  • Workshop start and finish times will not be delayed or extended due to late attendance.
  • Attendees should advise of any disability, medical or dietary requirements in advance of the workshop date. Where possible, attendees should provide details of any requirements at least two weeks in advance of the workshop date.
  • Petals & Paperie reserves the right to cancel the workshop due to low ticket numbers.
Caring For Your Floral Arrangement
  • If your arrangement is in floral foam, add a small amount of water to the top of the foam every 1-2 days, or as often as required. You can also spray the foam with a water spray bottle if preferred.
  • If your arrangement is on moss, spray the moss with a water spray bottle to keep it damp-to- touch, as often as required.
  • If your arrangement is in a container such as a vase, jar or bowl, keep the container topped up with water every 1-2 days or as often as required.
  • Keep flowers out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat sources and draughts.
  • Remove any wilting leaves or flowers as you see them.
  • Take care when topping up water that it does not overflow from the container or tray. We recommend topping up the water in your arrangement in the bathroom or kitchen so that spills can be easily wiped.
  • Keep your arrangement away from fruit bowls. Ripening fruit releases a gas called ethylene. Ethylene gas promotes ripening in fruit but also causes flowers to wilt faster, leading to a shortened vase life.
