Podcast Sabine Darrell on her Professional Event Florist Workbook

Welcome back to the Flower School Podcast!

In this episode, host Deirdre is absolutely thrilled to welcome back the incredible Sabine Darrall, a renowned luxury florist, mentor, and coach with over 30 years of experience in the industry. Janette praises Sabine as one of the most well-known florists in the UK and Ireland.

Having navigated three recessions and a pandemic, Sabine has seen it all. She's here to talk about her new and essential resource for event florists: The Professional Event Florist Workbook.

What’s in the Workbook?

This isn't your average coffee table book—it's a practical, no-fluff guide designed to help florists run their businesses more effectively and profitably. Sabine reveals that the idea for the workbook came from the need to help florists make more money in a changing economy.

She delves into topics that many in the industry consider a "closed book," including:

Logistics and Planning: From loading a van efficiently to planning your timeline for an event, Sabine shares her hard-won knowledge to save you time and money.

Health and Safety: Learn the essentials you need to know, from working in listed buildings to understanding weight limits for suspended arrangements and working at heights.

Freelancer Management: Get insider tips on freelancer etiquette and how to manage your team effectively to avoid common issues.

Event-Specific Knowledge: A full breakdown of different table and chair styles, and how they impact your floral designs and budget.

The best part? This workbook is a living document! It's an e-book that will be continuously updated, with a focus on giving florists the up-to-date knowledge they need to succeed.
