About NAFAS (National Association of Flower Arranging Societies)

In 1959, Flower Arranging Clubs and Societies joined together and with the support of the Royal Horticultural Society, formed the National Association of Flower Arrangement Societies. NAFAS grew rapidly to encompass a national network of Flower Clubs and was granted charitable status in 1984.

The Association is the only National organisation dedicated to pursuing the art of flower arranging, through education and events. The Association now boasts 78,000 members within 1,315 clubs including 34 junior clubs across 21 areas in the UK.

NAFAS aims to:

• Encourage the love of flowers and plants to demonstrate their decorative and creative value.

• Advance education in all facets of flower arranging.

• Instruct, train and accredit judges, demonstrators, speakers and teachers to raise the standard of flower arranging.

• Support worthy causes and charities by organising exhibitions and competitions.

• Encourage the conservation of rare and endangered species of flowers and plants.
