FUTUREFLOWERS

2026 Internships

We are so pleased to reopen our FutureFlowers programme for 2026, starting with two places in February and two in March. These are (London Living Wage) paid 1:1 internships in our studio, centred around key floral moments, Valentine’s Day and Mother's Day.

This year we are offering training across two distinct functions each month, Floristry and (a new addition) Production and Logistics.

Floral interns will learn the inner workings of the floral industry, from conditioning to bouquet making, building vase arrangements and installing events. Production interns will learn studio management, project management, client relationship management and logistics planning and execution.

Our internships are tailored to the individual. Whole day or just morning sessions can be accommodated if preferred. We aim for at least 4 shifts within a month period, where you’ll experience more quiet training days with the team, and busier hands on days around the key calendar moment.

Applications

To apply for a place, please send the following to hello@sageflowers.co.uk
[1] An email briefly outlining your interest in SAGE and the floral/ creative industry
[2] Your CV - we do not expect you to have any floral or production experience
[3] Which role (Floristry vs Production) and month (February vs March) you are applying for
[4] Anything else you would like to share with us

Please note, if you have previously applied or expressed interest, you will need to reapply to this placement. As we are a small team, we will only interview 3 candidates per role. We will not be able to provide feedback to those who are unsuccessful, however we would always encourage applicants to apply again!

Applications close on Friday 12th December and interviews will be booked in late December/ early January 2026.

About FutureFlowers

FutureFlowers was born in 2020 to empower and equip a diverse new wave of florists in the UK. It aims to address the barriers that people of non-white ethnicities face when considering a career in floristry.

Floristry is a predominantly white industry, from suppliers to retailers, florists and even events personnel. Courses are inaccessibly expensive, costing upwards of thousands of pounds, likewise internships and work experience are largely unpaid. The high costs of gaining training and experience, coupled with the lack of representation and presence of micro-aggressions in the workplace, are major barriers for those considering a career in floristry. By providing training we hope to lessen these barriers and create a more inclusive and creative floral industry.

We started the initiative as a free to attend, 3-month floristry training programme, consisting of 5 workshops, teaching students the basic mechanics of floristry and the theory behind running a viable business. We have trained over a hundred students so far, and the demand is ongoing and ever growing.

Since its inception, FutureFlowers has been entirely funded by SAGE. We took a break to review the longevity of self-funding such a large training programme and to ensure its sustainability, as well as provide the most value to the students around their other commitments, we have now moved the training to paid internships, nurturing one student at a time.

OTHER OPPORTUNITIES

All other roles are fully staffed, but you are always welcome to send a CV to hello@sageflowers.co.uk.
