The farm’s newest project is the Lowensvlei School of
Floristry located on the farm. Here Commercial Floristry courses
(beginners, intermediate and advanced levels) are presented for
those wanting to start a career in the industry, or for florists
wanting to train their staff.
A variety of ‘Floristry for Fun’
courses are also presented for those wanting to improve their skills
in flowers arranging for the home, church or for competitions.
The Lowensvlei School of Floristry is also the
birthplace of the ‘Dignity through Flowers’ programme whereby abused
women and young people identified by the police are trained in the
basics of floristry.
The objective is to develop a sense of
self-worth, and a possibility of income generation in their
communities.
