I live in South Africa and I have been watching your videos over the past year. I grew up watching my mom and grandmother making floral arrangements for church and family weddings. Just something they loved and did in their spare time. My mom has tried to teach me how to arrange flowers but she lives quite a distance from me so I don't get to see her often enough. I am a stay-at-home mom and I have absolutely loved watching your videos. You are an amazing teacher and I have started doing flowers for my local church on a Sundays. I buy bunches of flowers and then watch one of your videos while I arrange them. I also enjoy arranging flowers for ladies tea parties. I am looking forward to arranging some pretty table arrangements for my 50th Birthday in 2022. You have definitely given me confidence and I am so excited to see what you will be teaching us in the coming year.
Thank you Sharon for your intro. I look forward to see and watch you make/arrange/design flowers even more beautiful than they already are. I live in Hannover, Germany. I was appointed to make the flowers for the altar of my Parish Church. There was a change in this appointment due to the Pandemic (I was stuck for 5 months in S. America). Now I am just assisting. I adore flowers and love to arrange them and hope one day to do them myself. I never had any training but I spend most of my free time watching and listening to florists and I just love seeing all those beautifully arranged/designed flowers. I can't help but hope of another Church offering me this job but I think it will be an unfulfilled dream.
Greetings from Chicago, Illinois, USA. I just LOVE your videos, Sharon. You are such a FANTASTIC teacher. I appreciate your generousity in sharing so much of your knowledge. I'm interested in continuing to learn all the basic designs you've been teaching and would also like to learn some commercial tips on how to work faster...how to wrap bouquets etc. I'm also very interested in seeing the differences in what appeals to the European market compared to USA. UR THE BEST! THANK YOU!
Hi Sharon. I’m from Van Wert Ohio. I belong to a design group for my own pleasure. You are a fantastic teacher and thanks for all you do on u tube. I enjoy gardening and flower design and watching your teachings. Keep them coming
Watching from Northern California! really enjoyed your channel and used the information to make florals for my Christmas gathering. (they came out great!! - so thank you) I am just retired from healthcare, not looking for a new profession - but love your content for the home. Subscribed right away and have enjoyed every one thus far. Would love to see your take on a traditional Hat Box arrangement. Thanks for sharing and Good Luck on your channel.
No wonder I am in awe of you and your work and your teaching! You are so well trained and experienced and have the heart and spirit needed to open our hearts and minds so that we can enjoy the world of floristry. Thank you, thank you, thank you . I wouldn't know where to start but I am enthralled with the line of beauty by Hogarth if that is not too much to explain to amateurs. Personally the elements and principles of design will help. Watch you From Mississippi.
Well thats certainly cheered me up this morning. thank you so much Linda for your kind words. I glad my love of flowers and floristry is showing through
Just watched this. Love your you tube designs. You are brilliant at explaining everything and so inspirational. Work sheets would be fabulous A tutorial on wiring would be great and maybe an explanation about the different types of wires. Thank you
Enjoy your teaching style, it’s really helpful. And lovely flowers too. I’m interested in learning about particularly the mechanics for things like Doorscaping for homes, and how to have flowers over a church entrance, without fixing to any of the church. And maybe a modern take on a more traditional sheaf type arrangement, that could be utilised for a funeral/on top of a coffin. And designing for competitive floral work hints and tips would be fab. I’m a member of NAFAS, and live in Devon. 💐☃️☃️. Thanks 😊
I’m from Bishop’s Stortford in Hertfordshire. What a wonderful video Sharon, you are so inspirational, I belong to a Nafas flower club and often share your video links onto our Facebook page. Look forward to what you have in store for 2022.
Hi Sharon thank you for your video tutorials they are amazing, myself and a friend do church flowers. the compliments and interest we get is amazing, and its all down to your expertise and so easy to understand , YOU EXPLAIN EVERYTHING SO WELL, tomorrow we are doing the flowers for a friend who has recently passed away ,AND!!!! we are going to attempt the Hogarth curve!
Thank you Joyce for such a wonderful message. I'm delighted that you are enjoying the videos and I'm so pleased that you can follow the instructions. Good luck with your Hogarth Curve, its not the easiest of designs to create but I'm impressed you are going to try. You can always share a picture of your designs to my email address
Hi from Cambridgeshire . You have helped me greatly this Christmas. A friend asked if I could do her table decoration for Christmas and said ok. Never done one before but with you help it came out lovely. In fact she has asked me to do next year. So I’ve subscribed to your channel and have hit the bell icon. Looking forward to all your tutorials. Thxs again. Happy New Year.
Thank you for chatting this evening. I'm from Stevenage, Hertfordshire. I've enjoyed and appreciated the tutorials. It's lovely to see someone in the UK designing with our foliage! Very important! I love designing and creating new arrangements. Your tutorials have been very helpful. The basics are fundamental if you could build upon those designs taking them a step further that would be very helpful.
Hi Sharon, I have a small flower shop in Nova Scotia, Canada. I am from the UK and moved here eleven and a half years ago. I was a teacher in a former life and have come to floristry quite late. However, I love working with flowers every day and really love the personal connections you make with people at a time in their lives when something significant is happening. I haven't had any formal training, but I am creative and have a good eye for colour, my customers are very happy with my work. Having said that, I am always looking for ways to improve and add to my skill set so that I can be the best that I can be. Your videos always have something to take away, something that I can apply to my work, so thank you.
Tuning in from New Zealand. Daughters wedding coming up January 2023. I'd love to see some tutorials for a wedding arbour - central design for the top of the arbour ( I have a long caged oasis 2 blocks in length), long low wedding top table, and an arrangement for the top of two barrels. Any step by step tutorial that would assist a novice to create the above would be amazing. Many thanks.
I'm from Hillsborough northern Ireland and I have enjoyed watching your videos throughout the pandemic including the Christmas arrangements.I would like a recap on the basic designs shape with ideas for developing them possibly with a modern twist. I think follow up notes is a great idea .I am looking forward to the new videos in 2022.

I really enjoyed listening your Floristry journey Sharon, and where you are now! How do you subscribe to your TH-cam channel.
Just click the 'Subscribe' button - it doesn't cost anything, but helps my channel grow and helps others find the video.
