The South African Flower Union

The South African Flower Union was established in October 1991.  It is the national body for the flower unions/associations of the Republic of South Africa.  

There are eight affiliated provincial floral art unions/associations. Under the umbrella of the national body, there are national and provincial panels for floral art judges, demonstrators and teachers.

S.A.F.U. is a founding member of W.A.F.A. (World Association of Floral Artists).

Mission statement:  S.A.F.U’s mission is to encourage learning and enthusiasm for floral art and associated interests and to create an environment which is inclusive, co-operative and relevant to flower arrangers, floral artists, gardeners, nature lovers and environmentalists within South Africa. In its activities, S.A.F.U. will endeavour to contribute to the education and upliftment of its members and all interested South Africans.

If you are interested in creating art with all the plant materials Mother Nature provides for us, the South African Flower Union will put you in contact with a group of people in your area who share your passion for flower arranging.

We embrace all styles of floral art.

This site will also share educational happenings, demonstrations and shows occurring in South Africa and keep you up to date with what is happening within S.A.F.U. and other floral art organisations worldwide.
