The home of flower clubs in Wessex
Learn to flower arrange, meet new friends and support the flower arranging charity, NAFAS, through a network of flower clubs across Hampshire, Jersey, the Isle of Wight and the borders of Wiltshire, Surrey and Dorset
Who We Are
Wessex NAFAS (the Wessex & Jersey area of NAFAS) is the regional hub for local flower clubs in Wessex. Learn to flower arrange and meet new friends whilst supporting the work of the National flower arranging charity, NAFAS.
We are a network of flower clubs across Hampshire, Jersey and the Isle of Wight and including the borders of Surrey and Dorset.
Plus we have 20 allied regions right across Britain.
When you join your local flower club, as well as enjoying a year round programme of events and access to our National magazine, The Flower Arranger, you can achieve so much more.
The Wessex & Jersey region run educational and fund-raising events. We offer more advanced training on flower arranging and the option to train as a judge, demonstrator, speaker or teacher. Along with the chance to compete at regional level, plus opportunities to create designs in flower festivals and exhibitions in venues like Winchester Cathedral.
Your flower club membership also gives you membership of both the National Charity NAFAS and the World Association WAFA. Both organisations hold major shows which you are entitled to visit and enter as you are an affiliated member of Wessex & Jersey. You can even extend your training to become a National judge, demonstrator, speaker or teacher.
Most importantly you will make friends for life, learn to decorate your own home with flowers and develop your own creative style.
