Floristry by numbers

Floristry education
in figures.

Behind every well-arranged bouquet is a learner who practised, made mistakes, and came back. These figures reflect what students across our masterclasses actually experience - from first enrolment to confident independent work.

Data gathered from Ramisilo student cohorts active since 2015. Figures represent aggregated outcomes across all skill tiers.

What the data shows

Floristry as a skill has measurable patterns. Completion rates, session lengths, and preferred techniques all tell a story about how people actually learn to work with flowers - not how we imagine they do.

83%
of enrolled students complete their chosen masterclass

Across all skill levels - beginner to advanced - the completion figure sits consistently above 80%. Students who reach the third session almost always finish. The drop-off happens early or not at all, which tells us the first two sessions are where design and pacing matter most.

61%
return for a second course within 6 months

More than half of graduates enrol in a follow-up class. Wedding floristry and seasonal arrangement are the most common next steps.

74%
prefer live online sessions over self-paced modules

Real-time feedback on stem angle, proportion, and colour placement is something recorded video cannot replicate. Students consistently say live instruction changes how quickly they improve.

3×
weekly practice sessions among active learners

Students who practise at least three times per week between sessions report noticeably faster improvement in hand confidence and material handling.

Geographic spread of participants

Students join from across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Southeast Asia. The largest single group - 34% - comes from cities where in-person floristry instruction is limited or expensive. Online access has opened the subject to learners who previously had no practical route in.
