For those desiring to become a Certified Florist, this class is a great first step.

Time will be divided between lecture and hands-on design. All materials are included in the course fee and students will have a completed design to take home each day. Topics include: vase arrangements, symmetrical triangles, asymmetrical triangles, and horizontal centerpieces, round designs, hand-tied bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres.

The limited course enrollment of 6 will ensure that each student receives personal attention. The class will meet from 9:00am to 5:00pm each day with a 45-minute break for lunch on your own.  There is 36 hours of classroom instruction time.
