How One Workshop Helped Shape Bloom 2026
What started as a one-day wearable floristry workshop with Diana Toma quickly became one of the building blocks behind the success of Bloom 2026. Hosted at Tanners Foliage Farm and supported by Positive2Work Skillnet, the workshop gave Irish florists the opportunity to learn from one of Europe’s leading educators, developing skills, confidence, and creativity that could be seen throughout Bloom. From stunning wearable designs to award-winning floral displays, the impact of education was evident at every turn.
