For my floral career students or for anyone who is interested in the business side of flowers, I have a new You Tube video up for you addressing a question I get quite a lot: How to get floral design clients. Watch the video through the link above.
That’s a wrap on our wreath classes this season! Thank you to the over 200 students who attended class this year through our private classes, team workshops, and our sliding scale public and career student workshop. These are a few beautiful samples from students: Janine, Jennifer, Anna and Patricia. Merry Christmas!🌿🌿🌿
Making wreaths has proved grounding during this time and I’ve loved bringing this joy, nature, and crafting time to so many people this year. I am going to offer one public live wreath class this season, on December 16th at 9 am PST. In this wreath class, we’ll be covering the technique around a classical style wreath in a compostable method. Feel free to just show up with the supplies you have to enjoy making a wreath with a group.
You can sign up here. Entry is free for all career students. Entry fee is sliding scale, pay what you can. Recipe and supplies below.
Please don’t stop calling for a ceasefire right now, every day that you are able. Easy and quick action points here. If you miss a day, start again the next day. I am fighting with you!❤️

15-30 large stems of fresh greens
