Miami School of Flower Design

This course was a fantastic experience! After lots of research in courses in flower design, I chose this one and took the risk of flying in from another country to attend. Without a doubt, it was the best decision for me. It was worth every hour and every penny. The number of designs that we did in just one short week was incredible. I had the most fun, and learnt so much From Michael. He is a great teacher who balanced instruction with independence. He was very encouraging and made me feel confident in my floristry skills. He is also extremely knowledgeable about the flower industry and made me feel confident to start my own business. I highly recommend this course!

I just completed the Masters class at the Flower Design School of America in Miami, and I'm thrilled with the experience! As a Caribbean student, I flew in specifically for this course, and I can confidently say it was worth every penny. The intimate class size allowed for personalized attention, and Michael's expert demonstrations and guidance were invaluable. What I appreciated most was the balance between hands-on learning and independent work, which helped build my confidence. The course also covered the business side of floral design, which was a fantastic bonus. Overall, it exceeded my expectations, and I feel empowered to take my skills to the next level. Highly recommended

From the moment I stepped into the studio, I was immersed in a world of beauty, creativity, and professional excellence.

His method is both structured and inspiring, blending classic principles with current trends and real-world applications. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to take your design skills to the next level, Michael’s teaching will leave you confident, capable, and creatively charged. The hands-on training is phenomenal. Every day, we worked with stunning fresh flowers, learning everything from basic bouquets to high-end event design. Michael’s industry insights, business tips, and contagious enthusiasm make every lesson not just educational, but unforgettable. The Miami location itself is vibrant and welcoming—a perfect backdrop for inspiration. I left the program with a professional-level portfolio, a renewed sense of confidence, and the knowledge and tools to turn my passion into a profitable career.
