Garden Style System Courses
Characteristics
Delicate, wild, and romantic—these qualities have become synonymous with Tashi’s work. Working with flowers over nearly ten years in Southern Europe has deepened his understanding of European floral art. His creations combine the natural, breathing essence of the garden, infused with the romantic charm of the French Rococo period. His signature embroidery techniques seamlessly blend French regal elegance with the relaxation and laziness of garden plants.As a doctor cum laude, Tashi relies on a solid system of theoretical knowledge rather than just feelings. The consistent quality of his artistic works reflects a strong foundation in floral principles. He has developed and refined a range of theories around garden-style floral art, for example: warm and cool light balancing color theory, embroidery techniques, and his signature non spiral techniques. From multiple perspectives, he analyzes the logic behind natural beauty itself, exploring the core principles that create striking visual impacts rooted in natural and aesthetic harmony.About
Tashi is a garden-style floral artist who prefers to describe his work using the poetic rhythm and unique languor of garden plants. His signature design philosophy concentrates on three essential pillars: Growth Points, Embroidery, and Time Freeze—each one a reflection of the stages in his garden-style floral art system course. These are not merely techniques, but metaphors for the living art he cultivates.

Rooted in the spirit of European elegance and inspired by the poetic flow of the French floral rococo art system, this course is designed for florists and creatives who already understand the foundations of garden-style and are ready to elevate their work to a refined, dramatical and masterful level.
You will explore over 15 advanced techniques that define authentic garden-style expression, with a focus on composition, structure, and the subtle beauty of restraint. One of the core features of this course is the floral embroidery technique—a delicate, painterly skill drawn from French design philosophies that weaves flowers into compositions with grace and intention.
We’ll also deepen your understanding of sophisticated color harmony through master-level palette building, the interplay of warm and cool tones, and the play of light and shadow in an asymmetric 3D structure as emotional design tools—principles deeply rooted in French floral art system.
Time Freeze
In this course, color theory becomes a powerful storytelling tool. You'll master the use of advanced palettes—including the interplay of red, blue, and green light contrasts—and refine your sensitivity to white and black colors integration. This level of nuance brings emotion, clarity, and atmosphere into every arrangement.More than just learning new techniques, you will concentrate on developing style through intentional choices that honor each flower’s natural posture and energy. You'll be guided to create works that express the “time-freeze” effect—where flowers appear to rise, pause, and breathe within the design, as if caught in a perfect, suspended moment of life.This is where technical mastery meets artistic vision. It’s about elevating your work beyond beautiful—into something unforgettable.Recommended Styles:

Advanced 3-dimensional color palette
Building upon the three Advanced Garden-Style modules, we offer a specialized learning programme in colour and light, tailored to students' individual learning progress and development.Rooted in the three-dimensional colour theory of Garden-Style floral design, this module explores the interaction of light, shadow and colour within spatial compositions. Students will also examine the differences between human visual perception and how cameras and digital devices capture floral arrangements.Combining the principles of colour physics and chemistry with three-dimensional floral practice, the course investigates how different light spectra interact with floral materials, revealing the underlying principles of colour harmony and contrast.The curriculum is divided into a series of advanced topics, including Tonal Unity, Colour Bridging, Warm–Cool Light Contrast, Grey and Red Light Variations, and Exposure & Shadow Zones. Each theoretical concept is explored through carefully selected floral projects, with techniques and applications introduced progressively from basic to advanced levels.The modules follow a carefully structured learning sequence and must be completed in order. Each stage builds upon the knowledge and skills acquired in the previous one, allowing students to develop a deeper and more systematic understanding of three-dimensional colour in floral art.
Beyond Colour, Into Light and Space.
In my Garden-Style Colour Course, I explore the complexity of colour in three-dimensional floral compositions, moving beyond traditional colour combinations to discover how tones interact, transform and create depth under changing light.
Drawing from my background in fine arts and years of floral design experience, I share my understanding of colour through observation, artistic expression and practical exploration.
My aim is not simply to teach colour combinations, but to help each student develop their own sensitivity, perception and language of colour.
Connoisseur artistical elements
More than an advancement in visual aesthetics, this programme is an exploration of the essence of floral art — transforming personal experiences, emotions and perspectives into meaningful artistic expressions.
The ultimate goal is not simply to create more beautiful floral works, but to create works that carry meaning, embody emotion and tell a deeply personal story.
The pinnacle of the Garden-Style educational system, this exclusive programme is offered by invitation only.
Designed for students with extensive experience in the Advanced Garden-Style curriculum, admission requires a portfolio assessment. It is intended for floral artists who have mastered the Garden-Style language and developed a distinctive personal aesthetic, yet seek to move beyond visual refinement towards a deeper understanding of artistic meaning and narrative expression.
Through philosophical inquiry, artistic reflection and personal exploration, this module encourages students to establish a more profound connection between art and their own experiences. It challenges them to look beyond the pursuit of beauty and discover the deeper meaning behind their creative choices.
