The Internationally renowned J A N E  P A C K E R  Flower School now also operates within our New York flower store  on 59th Street, offering a similar range of high quality tuition as its sister schools in London and Tokyo. It’s the perfect location for New Yorkers (and others) to spend time enjoying flowers. 

The aim of the school is to share the skills and design philosophy of Jane Packer in a highly creative environment with anyone who has an interest in flowers, whether individuals who simply enjoy flowers in their home, florists who wish to improve their skills or those who may have an ambition to make floristry a career. Small classes will enable our highly skilled tutors to spend the maximum time with each student. Our classes are kept intentionally small (max 6 Students) so that the greatest attention can be given at all times. All materials required will be provided, however we would recommend that you bring a camera (sorry no video cameras). Students will take home their own flower arrangements created in the class. We begin each lesson with tea, coffee and pastries.

Our web site gives an overview of our courses and dates. Unfortunately, we cannot provide a booking service directly from our web page at the moment due to security issues. However you can print out a booking form and submit it by fax, e-mail or mail.

Contemporary Hand – Tied

The contemporary Jane Packer hand tied is the most creative style of hand tied bouquet.  It is also the most difficult.  It will normally include some form of accessory and will consist of unusual materials.  We often use accessories within our designs inspired by the latest high street fashions.  This is where we think outside of the box! 

 Classic Hand – Tied

The Jane Packer loose open hand tied design uses longer stemmed flowers.  The blooms are usually mixed together with foliages in between; the blooms are not clustered in groups.  At Jane Packer we would usually create this classic style with garden flowers in tones and shades of all one colour.  The choice of a monochromatic colour scheme and unusual garden blooms is Jane Packer’s interpretation of this classic design. 

 Classic Vase Arrangement

This class shows students how to create a very classical look, similar to an English country garden, using seasonal flowers such as roses, peonies, sweet peas, ivy, hydrangea. Romantic flowers are used and students learn how to arrange flowers straight into vase.

Contemporary Vase Arrangement

Focusing on contemporary methods, we show you how to make unusual vase designs using materials such as gravel, gel, feathers. Designs will include a minimalist arrangement and a massed arrangement.
