2026 Floral Design I Course: Arrangement Styles and Practice

Have you always wanted to learn how to prep and arrange flowers like a florist? If so, this class is the first in a 4 part series to help one learn the art of floral design. Whether you are interested in becoming a florist or you just want to learn some new skills, these classes will help you achieve that! 

Floral Design I is a hands on course that will go over the history of floral design and teach different styles used in different time periods. Many of these styles are still used today and use a wide variety of materials. We will compare it to current day and teach you how to create modern arrangements as well. During this course we will also spend time on flower types and prep to allow flowers to have a longer vase life. We learn to make armatures, rounded and rectangular arrangements, flower crowns, and a wedding centerpiece themed challenge. 

If doing this course in person at the farm, we will supply you with all the materials you will need each week (flowers, wire, containers, prep materials/solutions, floral tape, and more). You will be able to take your beautiful creations home to enjoy. 

Teachers: Katie and Jackie both graduated from the University of New Hampshire in Horticulture and Biochemistry degrees. In addition to being full time flower farmers and floral designers, they also have full time jobs beyond the farm. Katie is a teacher and has been teaching horticulture and floral design for over 17 years. We love the horticulture field and are excited to teach and learn with you!
