Prioritising wellbeing this Stress Awareness month with Flower Station's Flower School
April marks Stress Awareness Month, a timely reminder for businesses, teams, and individuals to reflect on the importance of mental wellbeing. With work-related stress continuing to rise across industries, investing in meaningful, restorative experiences is more crucial than ever. In fact, poor mental health costs UK employers £56 billion each year through absenteeism, presenteeism, and staff turnover (Deloitte, 2022).
At Flower Station, we understand the power of flowers, not just as beautiful objects, but as tools for wellbeing, mindfulness, and connection. That’s why our Flower School workshops are designed to offer more than just floral design. They provide a therapeutic, team-building experience that helps participants disconnect from daily pressures and reconnect with themselves and others.
The science behind flowers and stress reduction
Research consistently supports the positive psychological impact of flowers:
- A study in the Journal of Physiological Anthropology found that interacting with indoor flowers can significantly reduce stress by lowering heart rate and cortisol levels.
- Rutgers University reports that people surrounded by flowers experience greater happiness, decreased anxiety, and an improved ability to connect socially.
- According to Harvard Medical School, engaging in creative tasks such as floral design enhances focus, reduces mental fatigue, and promotes emotional regulation.
These findings reinforce what we see every day at Flower Station: flowers foster calm, creativity, and connection.
Our Flower School classes offer businesses and individuals an ideal way to support wellbeing in a hands-on, accessible, and engaging format. Held at our Golders green branch or delivered on-site, sessions are led by expert florists who guide participants through the art of floral arrangement, no experience is needed.
Ideal for:
- Corporate wellbeing initiatives
- Team-building sessions
- Client engagement activities
- Social committee events
- Employee reward and recognition programmes
- Private group experiences
Each attendee leaves with their own hand-crafted arrangement and a sense of calm and accomplishment.
