Covers sourcing logic, seasonal pricing, client communication, and presentation formats used in professional orders. No decorative theory without practical grounding.
Delivered remotely with flexible scheduling, designed to work for participants from different time zones across the country.

What the curriculum covers

Floristry at a commercial level involves more than arrangement technique. Buying decisions, supplier relationships, pricing structures, and client-facing communication all shape whether a floral business stays viable across seasons. This program addresses those specifics directly.

Early modules focus on procurement — understanding wholesale markets, negotiating minimum order quantities, and planning inventory around seasonal availability. Participants work through real cost scenarios rather than abstract formulas.

Later sessions shift to client work: quoting for events, handling revisions without scope creep, and structuring contracts for recurring corporate accounts. These are recurring friction points that the curriculum addresses with worked examples.
