Where do I learn how to design floral arrangements?

I%26#039;d like to go to work in a flower shop and I have some natural talent for flower arrangements but I%26#039;d like to learn other thinks like doing funeral arrangements and other stuff. Where can I go to learn how to do flower arrangements like they would do in a flower shop?

Reply:It just depends on where you live. You might check with community colleges in the area. Ours offers those classes for fun sometimes in the summer. Also, you might check in the newspaper once in awhile or even ask flowershops.
Reply:Some Greenhouses and Floral shops will offer training, also ITT will offer classes thru floral shops.


Natural ability is half the battle, working with live flowers is totally different that silks, plus they will teach you to arrange on a numerical pattern, which I don%26#039;t like...
Reply:Go to your local community college. They have affordable classes on many such topics.visual arts
