Columbia Road Flower Market Guided Walking Tour and Bouquet Workshop

The flower workshop was a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. Our guide was very passionate about flowers, knowledgeable about the Columbia Road market and super helpful. We went to her studio and learnt the basics of putting together a bouquet using the spiral technique. She had purchased lots of flowers for us to use and we were able to make lovely large bouquets. She even sent us off with some of the leftover flowers. I also bought a lot of plants at the market too, so it was a struggle getting home. Take extra bags! I thoroughly recommend as an activity to do with a mother/daughter or with a friend. You will leave with at least one bouquet if not other purchases so make sure you are planning to go home fairly soon afterwards!

Brilliant workshop and a great day had! Really excited to do more workshops with The Flower Factory. Thank you for such a lovely, welcoming and informative session.

Had a great time with my girlfriend in the flower arranging class. Would highly recommend as a fun date idea!

A great morning- three of us attended the course we really enjoyed it and left feeling we had really learned something!

The most gorgeous way to spend a morning. Khin is so knowledgeable and talented and so generous. Will be booking again in the early autumn!

I came along to Khin's workshop with two close friends. We had a brilliant time! Khin talked us through Columbia Road Flower Market, he was always ready to answer questions and was so charming, friendly and knowledgable. We then went back to his studio where he had a fabulous choice of flowers for us to create a seasonal hand tied bouquet. He showed us step by step what to do and we all went home with a stunning bouquet having had plenty of support from Khin and his team to create it. He also recommend a great local coffee shop and a fantastic local Vietnamese restaurant. We had such a great time, it was so much fun and the pace was just perfect. Relaxed but we also learnt some great tips and techniques. Still smiling the next day! Thank you Khin!

A well organised and enjoyable way to spend a Sunday morning and go home with a beautiful bunch of flowers!

A fabulous morning spent wandering the Columbia Rd Flower Market and learning how to arrange a hand-tied bouquet. Well looked after by Khin and our guide and tutor, Ottilie (not sure if I've spelt that right!) and their assistants. So knowledgeable and encouraging, providing a beautiful selection of flowers - even I, with very little creative flair, was able to create a wonderful bouquet! Thank you all for the experience.

What a lovely morning spent strolling through Columbia Road flower market followed by an informative and fun session making beautiful seasonal bouquets! My mum and I really enjoyed it, thank you!

Khin was great, really friendly, informative and a supportive teacher. Loved the walk through the market with Khin followed by the bouquet making. Thank you.

Excellent workshop

I really enjoyed my tour of Columbia Road flower market and the workshop afterwards. Khin is a brilliant guide and teacher and made everyone on the tour feel really welcomed. He had amazing knowledge and picked the most stunning blooms for us to create our floral display.

This workshop went beyond my expectations! Khin is very friendly, attentive and knowledgable - you can tell he is very passionate about his craft and goes out his way to tailor the experience to what you want out of it! I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the workshops - the guided walking tour, learning the craft of flower arranging and having a go ourselves, chatting with Khin and of course bringing home a beautiful bouquet you designed each to take home. I came into the workshop with very little knowledge and this experience has definitely inspired me to add more florals to my home (or even creating my own to gift!). I thoroughly recommend this workshop - it will not dissapoint!

Fantastic experience. Khin is a lovely host with a lovely workshop, and is very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed all he had to teach us during the market tour, and had great fun trying our own hand in the workshop with expert instruction. Would highly recommend!
