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.
Flower Club began as a You Can. It 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.
In March 2024 Tommy was awarded Community Hero by Proper Pubs for his efforts.
Flower Club is in the process of becoming sustainable and enable monthly sessions to take place. A small contribution from participants will be matched through funds from the brewery Proper Pubs enabling access for people who cannot afford even a minimal contribution.
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
I never get given flowers or buy flowers so this just lifts my spirits and i get to feel proud i have made the arrangement – that I am creative.
