Our classes are held twice a week, each lasting 3 hours a session. All classes are a hands-on experience with all tools, containers and fresh flowers provided for the complete design experience. In each class large quantities of fresh flowers are shipped in for the use of the student to design and cut. Each student goes through $1500-$2000 worth of flowers per semester including orchids, tropical, English garden, and Holland varieties of flower species. Each student takes his or her designs home as well as more product to produce more samples to be reviewed during the next class.
It's fun, focus, and flowers all in one class. You will meet fellow students, develop a life-long skill, and educate yourself on the world of flower design and production while filling your life with beautiful creations of your own design.

A
trip to the flower market is also scheduled to give the students
an understanding of how the wholesale flower market operates. Students
learn what it takes to buy wholesale and where the flowers originate
from. Flowers used in each class are shipped in from such locales
as Holland (tulips), Columbia (roses), Hawaii (tropical), Israel
(Gerber Daisies). We teach the flower lover how to design elegant
or contemporary arrangements for entertaining at home or for commercial
accounts. Amazing results come from understanding the principles
and theories of design as well as the application of those to different
flower varieties.
Everyday application is seen throughout each class as well as special
events such as weddings or parties. Personal flowers to wear such
as corsages, boutonnieres and head wreaths are covered. Fast and
beautiful table top and centerpiece designs are one of the most
popular segments. Professional shortcuts, tips and secrets to designing
for the home and office are displayed, as well as procedure for
more complicated designing such as bridal and high-style designing.
International design styles are discussed and presented as well.
Students
can approach the semester with the goals of pursuing a career in
the flower business or to acquire the resources and skills for designing
their own personal reasons of events. Classes are extremely informative
and filled with hands-on experience. Students move at a steady pace
from one design to the next.
