Introductory Floral Design

Our flagship Introductory program will teach you the fundamentals of floral design. It is not just a follow along workshop that spits you out with a ton of arrangements and no skill. After the first six weeks, you will have confidence working with a large variety of flowers, in a wide range of styles and containers. It will take you from zero to creating and constructing your own unique arrangements, completely solo.

– Never make beginner mistakes again by learning the proper care and florist tricks.

– Get hands on with flowers the very first day.

– Gain a base knowledge of design you can always fall back on.

– Create your own unique arrangements in a variety of vase shapes and styles.

– Understand the many uses of floral foam, and how to design best with it.

– Create your own hand-tied bouquets.

“Going in I knew nothing, but leaving I had a huge handle on what flowers to put together and all the techniques, I’ve used them countless times since.” – Sara
