Flower Club is a collaboration between EofUS and two HU3 institutions – Graham’s the Florists and Rayners Pub. It builds on the interests of landlady Rachel and florist Tommy to do more for their community, try something new and work together.
Beginning as a You Can, Flower Club supports personal and business development, offering people a creative, joyful, opportunity that puts beauty, flowers and wellbeing at the centre. It has developed into a regular club, with each seasonally themed workshops being a mixture of instruction, making and conversation. Everyone takes their creations home enabling them the opportunity to showcase their skills to friends and family or gift them to another.
Flower Club is in the process of becoming more sustainable to enable monthly sessions to take place. A small contribution from participants is matched through funds from Proper Pubs, enabling access for people who cannot afford even a minimal contribution. In March 2024 Tommy was awarded Community Hero by Proper Pubs for his efforts.
We are currently exploring Flower Club on Tour which will offer the opportunity to more people
“I love how we come in the pub on a Friday evening, be with the amazing Tommy, and get to make these beautiful things that bring us joy.”
