Giving flowers
a future
A force for nature
SFN is a new, independent education organisation for florists. We are creating a new standard for floristry, based around sustainability principles.
Modern floral design
is unsustainable
As florists, we love nature, but the widespread use of floral foam, excessive packaging and flying out-of-season blooms across the world are just some of the problems we must tackle.
The problems
The SFN solution is education
