“Mary is a true gem, from whom I could not have been more privileged to learn. From the very first hour, it is immediately apparent that she sincerely cares about her students and their successes. She is immensely generous with her knowledge about the flower industry and the techniques you need to know to thrive within it, with her time and attention, kindness, and patience.” ~ Francesca Teotico Howorth

Your projects have been carefully selected to get you out the door and on the move!!

Florals will be selected that are representative of florals typically offered in a florist shop.

Many people have asked for a course like this. ‘Time effective, cost effective and skills effective!

Remember, we are florists too, so this is right up our alley. We look so forward to passing our years of knowledge along.

DON’T BE FOOLED BY OTHER SCHOOLS OFFERING LONGER COURSES AT AN EVEN GREATER COST. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING CONTEMPORARY FLORAL DESIGN AND WANT TO WORK WITH NEW FRESH LUX AND MODERN FLOWERS EVERY CLASS, TORONTO FLOWER SCHOOL IS YOUR ONLY CHOICE. LONGER HOURS DO NOT EQUAL MORE VALUE OR MORE SUCCESS.

THE DESIGNS AND INSTRUCTION EVERY NEW FLORIST NEEDS TO KNOW

Remember, ALL floral and hard goods will go home with you at the end of every class.

CLASS ONE DAY ONE

Our first class will be based on the technique of creating spiral tied bouquets. The skill of bouquet making is essential in today’s floristry market.

Students will learn tied bouquet techniques. The technical reality of these bouquets can be daunting, however you will learn the proper placement, handling and binding of this essential floristry product. Bouquets will be made a minimum of four times.

Students will learn proper cutting and vase placement as well as learn contemporary floral wrapping.

CLASS TWO DAY ONE

As in class one we will begin with spiral tying our florals. Will your memory serve you right? By repeatedly focusing on tying bouquets at the beginning of every class you will soon remember you’re taught techniques. Bouquets will be made a minimum of two times.

Students will then learn the proper techniques in creating a centerpiece, lux and full in oasis floral foam. A floristry staple.

Lastly students will create 1 wrist corsage using the most up to date techniques. A skill every Florist must know.

CLASS THREE DAY TWO

Brand new florals and a brand new opportunity to tie a bouquet! By now things are coming more naturally and what was a challenge is now a developing skill! Bouquets will be made a minimum of two times. Students will create a one sided floral arrangement focusing on contemporary styling. Another floristry staple. Students will observe and learn how to professionally wrap an arrangement in a contemporary style. Focus on delivery safety and design.

CLASS FOUR DAY TWO

In our final class, skills have developed and your final two tied bouquets will be of little challenge. Your confidence has built and your own personal sense of style is coming through in your work. Bouquets will be made a minimum of two times.

Students will learn the sought after technique of designing an arrangement in chicken wire. Sustainable design is a critical element in today’s floristry climate. You will be taught every element in creating a stunning contemporary piece. Students will watch a demo on 2 separate boutonniere techniques. One styled in a contemporary technique giving a modern look and one styled using a contemporary technique while giving a classic look.

FAQ

“I went into this class not knowing what to expect and I left with floral industry know-how AND a full time design job in Toronto. Mary not only teaches you all of her tricks of the trade but she genuinely cares that her students succeed. She recommended me for a job after only 2 classes, I went in and was able to wow them so much with what I had been taught that I was offered the job on the spot. This class quite literally changed my entire life and I couldn’t be more grateful for it!” ~ Caitlin Adele

What days are the classes held?

By offering classes weekends and evenings our students can attend our courses without impacting their current job schedules.

What happens when I sign up’?

As soon as your payment has been processed (which can take up to 15 minutes) you’ll reserve your spot on the date selected.

I haven't done a program like this before ... Is this still right for me?

Absolutely! This program will provide a tremendous foundation of floral design skills. And secondly you are going to learn my personal tips and secrets to negotiate around this business. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, you’re in the right place.

Why does Toronto Flower School offer less hours than more traditional schools?

We have been asked that question many times and the answer is, simply, money! Other schools could never afford to offer the level of florals, hardware, kits and knowledge we put into a 4 week course over 2 or 3 months. We insist on the highest levels of product from start to finish..how else can you learn proper up to the minute designs and floristry knowledge? If Toronto Flower School were to offer you a course extending over months, one of 2 things would happen… the cost would not be affordable or the product and teaching would suffer. Our students are not interested in learning with dated florals and vessels and learning dated techniques. Careful planning and attention go into every course cycle and with your after course mentorship, your learning will last as long as you need it!

How do I know if Start Up with Design is the right place to start?

The Start Up with Design program is training that you will use for the rest of your career, referring back to it’s content over and over again. It provides valuable strategy in addition to critical hands-on training.

Will I receive a diploma when my course is done?

Yes, in our industry florists are recognising the Toronto Flower School diploma more than ever. We are very proud to offer our students their certificate of completion as a symbol of their commitment to floristry and floral design alike.

What results can I expect?

Your results are entirely in your hands. If you don’t follow through then you won’t unlock you hidden potential. However, if you choose to TAKE ACTION on what you’ve learned, you’ll be blown away by what lays in front of you.

What if I cancel after paying?

Cancellations are subject to a $350 administration fee.
