Some ideas grow in a boardroom. Ours grew in a field of eucalyptus.
After more than 30 years trading in Skerries, and years spent nurturing 60,000 coppiced eucalyptus trees on our farm in Corduff, Lusk, we kept coming back to the same thought: the story of a flower shouldn't end at the shop counter. It should be shared — taught, touched, and understood from stem to studio. That thought is what became the new Arbour Blooms Flower Studio.
From Farm to Studio: Where the Idea Began
Our eucalyptus farm has always been more than a supply line. It's where we grow, coppice, and harvest our own European foliage through Tanner's Foliage, and where we first started running hands-on floral workshops in the middle of the fields — foliage still cool from the cut, hands still green from the stems.
Watching people fall in love with floristry out there, surrounded by the source material itself, made one thing obvious: Skerries needed a home for that same energy year-round. Not just a shop. A studio — a space built specifically for learning, creating, and slowing down with flowers.
A Centre of Excellence at Arbour Blooms HQ
That's exactly what we've built at Arbour Blooms HQ in Skerries: a dedicated flower studio designed to be a genuine centre of excellence for floral education in Ireland. It's where three decades of trade experience, our own foliage farm, and a real passion for teaching finally have a proper stage.
The studio has been designed as a creative space first — good light, room to work, and everything you need to actually get your hands into the mechanics of floristry rather than just watch someone else do it.
New Classes, Now Open for Booking
Our full class schedule is live on our website now, covering everything from beginner floristry fundamentals to more advanced seasonal design sessions — using the same quality foliage and flowers we've built our reputation on for 30+ years.
Whether you're a hobbyist looking for a relaxing evening class, or someone dreaming of a career change into floristry, there's a class designed with you in mind.
Corporate Classes: Team Building With Real Craft
Alongside our public class calendar, the studio also hosts a full programme of corporate flower workshops. These sessions are a brilliant alternative to the usual team-building formats — hands-on, low-pressure, genuinely creative, and every participant leaves with something they made themselves.
Corporate groups can book private sessions at the studio, tailored to group size and occasion — from client entertaining to internal team days.
