About Me

I am a very close friend of Donn Flipse, Jen Stabile and other associates of Field of Flowers, based in Davie Florida. I share with them a love of flowers and plants, the business of selling them, and a desire to learn more about them. Via my blog I hope to find other people of similar interests and provide them with interesting and entertaining information.

Learn more!

Stores like Field of Flowers have professionals who are skilled and talented floral designers.


But everyone can learn a little more about caring for flowers and making arrangements. One way to do that is to take a class.


Listen to a professional tell you about techniques, colors, flowers that work well together, accessorizing the arrangement, how to get the most life out of your flowers.


Taking a class also allows you to listen to other people who are learning and to find out what they think. Most importantly, taking a class lets you ask questions and grow into your own as you discover what flowers you like, how you like to arrange them, what seasons are right for which flowers, etc.

There’s no age limit for taking classes. Whether you are a young person drawn to flowers and eager to know a lot about them, or someone older who has always wanted to learn more, floral arranging classes and demonstrations can teach you a great deal.

It’s great to read about flowers in a book or watch a video. But there’s nothing like the hands-on experience of working directly with flowers! If you’ve ever thought about taking a class, maybe now’s the time to do it.

Yay, I liked this post as it supports the whole floral education process by encouraging people to take a florist class. It is right on point! Thank you for sharing your post.

I would like to help my sister decorate her house with live plants. I will be adding a little Fung Shui by giving her lucky Bamboo. I will root it from my own plant and I have a suitable vase!

I have a healthy Red Rhododendron in my living room! I will plan her house plant collection and give her a housewarming bouquet!
