UPDATE Course Details
​

PLEASE NOTE: I ONLY list COURSES taught by experienced botanical artists who are teaching in independent premises and not in their own homes.​​ This is because of the Regulatory requirements relating to all businesses - including teaching - which involve contact with the public. Independent premises on the same land as your home do qualify for listing.
All places listed
  • MUST operate as a proper venue for the public and/or business ​
  • AND meet all regulatory consents, permissions, requirements and standards for business premises with public (students) on the premises (e.g. third party liability and public liability insurance for public access, Health & Safety Certificates; approved planning permission etc, tax status as business premises.
  • SPECIFICALLY IT MUST BE COVID SECURE.  I expect all places providing courses to be aware of and practice appropriate covid secure practices for the location of the venue and the origins of the students attending - and for tutors to know what these are.
Your very active tuition business on the same site as where you live will qualify for listing ONLY IF 
If you are a tutor who thinks you have a course which could be listed please note:
  • you need to be included in the International Directory: Botanical Art Tutors in your own country (see separate page) ​BEFORE any courses are listed - and I only list experienced tutors.
  • PLEASE MAKE CLEAR WHICH YEAR YOUR COURSE RELATES TO. Due to current pandemic surges, I'm thinking of creating an additional page - just for 2022 courses - so people can plan ahead and prospective students can see what's on offer after this year.  Please be specific about year.
