A PRACTICAL APPROACH
First, you will learn the essentials, such as the elements of floral design, use of materials, handling and care of the cut flowers and basic design construction. Then you will advance to more demanding designs suitable to a wide range of applications. You'll work with fresh plant materials for the most part but dried and silks will also be available. The emphasis is on developing your creativity and mastering proven techniques. Since business skills are necessary, you will get a thorough introduction to the basics of running a successful business, including marketing techniques, pricing, sales skills and public relations.
