  2. It's a everlasting flower called limonium, very easy to dry and it keeps its color and form.

  3. A form of plastic? But it must have been somethíng like that when it is supposed to been candles in it. Something that isn't easy to set on fire.

  5. No it's not plastic so the flower can easily burn. So you have to watch the candle and don't let it burn down completely.

  6. Beautiful wreath. I wonder if you could use lavendar for the same thing? Maybe it wouldn't hold its colour as well?

  7. You can absolutely use lavender for the wreath! It's about the same as limonium, a small flower and easy to work with. Lavender smells good and are also a kind of everlasting flower which keeps its form and color, the flower only becomes a little greyish then it dries.

  8. Beautiful ! Do the students have to source their own flower ( e.g from local flower markets ) or do you provide them.
    what types of courses do you offer and how long do the courses go for?
    Do you offer day or night classes?

  9. We provide the flowers, materials, tools and everything they need in the courses.
    It's only day classes, they go to school from about 8 to 4 a clock, monday to friday.

    The students read the subjects handicraft, handicraft knowledge with the courses florist 1 and materials and the environment in where first year in the focus florist.
    They also read subjects such as Swedish, English, religion, mathematics and entrepreneurship.
    It's different how long a course is, it's depends on how many credits a course is on and how meny courses they read at the same time during there education.
