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.
