Motueka Floral Art Circle meets once a month to share ideas, create floral designs, and learn new techniques and concepts. Each meeting has a separate theme and several workshops are included in the year's programme.
The club is affiliated to the , which produces two high quality editions of a magazine each year, holds an annual conference and sponsors regional workshops. All the clubs in the Nelson Marlborough West Coast area get together twice a year for workshops and demonstrations.
The objective of the Floral Art Circle is to provide a forum for those interested in creating art with flowers and plants to meet together share ideas learn new techniques and concepts and provide a service to the community.
