Thank you so much for yet another brilliant course today. Loved every minute, so special to be submerged in your awesome flowery world!

How do we adequately thank you for everything you have taught us: flowers and more. The best course I have ever done! Lisa

You have done so much for me and helped me to change my whole life. I'm so grateful and will definitely be back for more flower school input in the future. SO much love for you.

This has been one of the most enjoyable, fantastic things I have ever done, Jo

There aren't enough words to let you know what a great teacher you really are! Mandy

Thank you so much Georgia. You are amazing and such a star with your calming, professional style. you have helped me so much.

Thank you lovely Georgia for a truly amazing course. I will be back to learn more!

Thankyou for being a truly inspirational; and wonderful teacher. I have loved every minute of the course and am thrilled to leave with new skills and flowery friends...Emily

Just a wee note to say a HUGE thank you for such a wonderful couple of months on the Career Change Course. I have loved every minute of it and will miss my weekly dose of the TSFS medicine! You are fantastic teacher and mentor and you offer such a unique and nourishing learning environment.

You have been an inspiration to all of us and I just want to say thank you

I just wanted to reiterate my thanks for our 1:1 session yesterday. I absolutely loved it and now feel more confident to unleash my limited creativity with flowers. It gave me so much pleasure and a sense of stress release to create two beautiful displays especially as I could take the bouquet to my parents as a special thanks for an amazing birthday present. I only wish I’d had the confidence to do it years ago!

I am so glad I decided to do the 'Further your Skills' course. I was on such a high after finishing the Career Change Course that I just felt I needed to learn more! I was so so nervous when I started the Career Change Course in September but by the end you had given me so much confidence in myself and my ability to create amazing things with flowers.

I had always wanted to learn about becoming a florist ever since I left school and I have just never had that confidence to do it. But last year I told myself that this is something that I really want to do and so I just need to do it and I am so glad that I did because every time I walk into your class room I feel so welcome and comfortable and it is just such a lovely environment to be in especially with all the coffee, cake and flowers!

Now I am doing the further your skills course and I am just loving it. The freedom, creativity, advice, help and support is just so great and I can't wait for next week..

This is a very enjoyable day. Georgia was a delightful teacher and made the group feel very welcome. The course content was very informative in a relaxing environment. I learnt a huge amount whilst having great fun with the flowers. Thank you.

It's always a fabulous day at The Sussex Flower School, I always enjoy going there to update my skills and make new flowery friends, whether you are a beginner or an experienced florist like I am, Georgia's teaching at The Sussex Flower School incorporates everyone's level of ability. I would recommend any course.

I so enjoyed my course with you in every way. You helped me more than you could ever know.

Pure 'floral therapy'

Thank you for spoiling us and making us feel nurtured

Your enthusiasm for floristry and life in general is so catching and a breath of fresh air!

You are fantastic at what you do and your personality shines through all the time, totally gifted!

Had a great day. Arrived planning to delegate all aspects of floristry on our wedding day. Left thinking I'll attempt it all 😂💐thank you! Plus I'm coming back just for the super cake and lunch!

What a FANTASTIC experience!! I did a 1-2-1 class, and I learnt more in the 5 hours with Georgia, then I did in a 3 day flower course in London. Georgia was great in giving me as much information that I needed to take away with me, all of the ideas that I wanted to try she showed me how to do, and even gave me advice on what to buy. If you are considering attending one of Georgia's classes, I

I want to thank you for the courses and wonderful teaching and advice you have given me this year. I so enjoyed Wedding Flowers, Urns, Pedestals and Sympathy Flowers. Coming to The Sussex Flower School with you and Christine has given me time out during a difficult year and a lot of happiness.

A massive THANK YOU for running the bouquet course last Thursday. I really enjoyed myself, you were incredibly inspiring and your tips and techniques were great and very helpful! I won't forget 2 o'clock and Robin Hood!!!! I would love to stay in touch and if it's ok I will connect in May when I leave my full time job - such exciting times and I can't wait to get involved in the florist world, my bigger passion...

My dear Georgia, thank you SO much for today. I loved the course and i do feel more confident about hand tied's now. Best of all was your wonderful LOVE of life. thank you for an amazing day.

Thank you again for being such an amazing teacher and for being so inspirational. Although I have had to attend other courses, I absolutely promise you that yours was the best, and your way of teaching and making people feel so at ease, is a joy to be part of.

This was a superb course I learned a lot just have to put it into practice What an amazing place I shall be going again thank you Georgia for a fun day.

"It's been lovely being back in the flower world again and you're always so inspiring, I look forward to doing more courses with you soon..."

"The amount and choice of materials was unbelievable - like being in a sweet shop! Working as part of a team was invaluable experience- with your fantastic support and guidance.....I came away with so much more than I expected. I thought the Career Change Course was excellent but this course went to another level...." (Large Scale Floral Designs)

'This course (the three day Large Scale Designs course) is well worth doing if you plan on doing event floristry or just fancy being creative for 3 days with beautiful flowers. It emphasises how as individuals we need to be able to work together and problem solve. I was part of a fantastic group, we pulled together and came up with some wonderful designs. It was a busy and thoroughly exhausting three days but what we produced was so beautiful. Apart from having a fantastic choice of flowers to use, Georgia also had Emma, a professional photographer come and take pictures. The finished display looked amazing.'

"Thank you so much for a fantastic week of introduction to wedding floristry. It has been a joy to be part of, and I have learnt so much! I'm so pleased to have chosen your course. You and Christine looked after us perfectly, the constant supply of drinks, cake, delicious lunch and great humour and all round loveliness. My brain is full of floristry and happy thoughts!"

"Georgia possesses a rare gift in that she can tune in to a person's soul journey through the medium of flowers. As a working events and contract florist, I needed to refine certain techniques and on my one-to-one day Georgia provided much appreciated practical guidance on my floral journey. A landmark day for me…. With cake! Thank you, thank you, Georgia. X."

"I could not recommend Georgia's courses enough, they really are life changing. Once you go, you really won't want to leave!"

"You have given me the confidence to follow my dream and start my own business. I'm so happy I chose your school to start my journey as a florist and most of all I hope I have found a wonderful friend for life..."

"Just to say I had the most fantastic day with you last Thursday and came away absolutely buzzing! It was brilliant and you were so inspiring! Thank you very, very much. I am very keen to start my new hobby!"

"I attended The 'wedding bouquet 2 day course' as a complete novice and WOW what an amazing 2 days! I really didn't know what to expect as I'm in the process of changing my career and opening my own florist and so am having to learn at a very fast pace! Georgia makes you feel so relaxed, puts you at ease in a lovely relaxed environment which enables you to absorb some of the huge wealth of "

"Just to say thank you for yesterday. I loved every minute from the time I walked in the door. It was like being in a sweetie shop full of the most delicious things. Smiley faces all morning and the great chat like birds in spring making their nests. "

"Georgia Miles is a fabulous teacher and makes it fun too"

"Here's my finished wedding and bridesmaids bouquets. Thank you so much for everything you taught me, I would not of had the confidence or knowledge to create these.."

"I joined the Sussex Flower School at the beginning of February to do the eight week career change course. Having never done any kind of floristry before, only arranging flowers for myself at home, I was a bit worried that the course would be too advanced for me but Georgia assured me I would be fine. I met the loveliest ladies at the course, made some new friends and found Georgia to be the most

"I enjoyed it so much and left feeling inspired, enthused and rediscovered..."

"As a mother of two boys aged 10 and 7, and all the running around that entails and also the running of a gift website I don't get much time to myself as don't many mothers I know. I came along to The Sussex Flower School last week for the day and had the most lovely time. The day started with fresh coffee and homemade chocolate brownies and a chance to get to know the other ladies on the course. Georgia then showed us how to hollow out a pumpkin and how to use this as a container for a lovely Autumn display, we then got to have a go and all with fantastic results. A couple of my friends were also on the course and were very surprised as they really didn't think they could make anything with flowers look good! We then had lunch in Georgia's lovely kitchen, the butternut squash tarts, salad and focaccia were homemade by a very good friend of Georgia's and by Georgia herself - it was Autumnal and very delicious. It was such a treat to sit down with lovely interesting people and eat beautifully presented food with no work or children interruptions! In the afternoon Georgia showed us how to make a hand tied bouquet, again with flowers from her cutting garden and other beautiful Autumn flowers. Both my displays took pride of place at our school barn dance and got many complimentary comments and a week later still look amazing. I would highly recommend a day at The Sussex Flower School either by yourself or with a friend or two, a lovely alternative to a spa day and you get to learn so much as well. Thank you Georgia."

"...the company was great, lunch was superb and it was so well taught and in such a beautiful location: I will definitely recommend you to anyone looking for something like that."

" Just a note to thank you so much for your help and encouragement last week. I always feel better when I have seen you."

"It was the best birthday treat ever and I was amazed with the impressive wreath I was able to achieve as a beginner, and in only a few hours..... We are already talking about revisiting next year"

" It was fantastic. I've learnt so much today and can't believe what I've achieved, fantastic teacher!
