Invest in yourself this year by
participating in one or more of these
spectacular instructional events.

F
or fl orists looking to grow their
businesses, investing in one's
education is one of the best ways
to do that. Bettering oneself and
exploring new opportunities have always
been important, but never more so than
today—as our industry and the business
world, in general, changes and advances
continuously—and at warp speed.
ere are myriad education opportunities
in the fl ower industry that will help one
grow as a fl oral designer, business owner
or manager. And taking classes, attending
workshops and pursuing professional
certifi cations—design or business—will
enable one to build upon existing skill-
sets and/or develop new ones while also
learning new ways to either express oneself
creatively with fl owers or run one's business
more effi ciently and profi tably—not to
mention making new lifelong friends.
Perhaps you are apprehensive and even
anxious about doing something outside
of your comfort zone. And you're not
alone in that, but the percentage of people
who have also been trepidatious but who
moved forward anyway and found their
lives dramatically and forever changed
for the better is nearly 100.
For your consideration, we present the
following roster of upcoming fl oral design
education events—from in-person to
online options—all of which will provide
unparalleled opportunities to meet,
interact with and learn from renowned
industry educators, fellow fl orists and
other like-minded people. Are you ready
to unlock your fl oral potential?
