We have been operating this school for over 36 years, making countless updates and changes as times shift, and we feel we have one of the finest design schools anywhere in the world. Student enrollment has come from over 40 countries, and every state except Hawaii and we are well known throughout our wonderful world of flowers. In addition to our phone for contact, we also have a fax number, 561-585-3359 and an email address at floridaconnect@webtv.net. Contact us any way you like, and we'll get right back to you with an answer to whatever you need to know. There are about a dozen licensed floral design schools in the country, and, as far as I know, we are the only one in Florida. The one question people ask us is, "How does your school differ from others? " And, from what we hear, most of the others teach mainly design, period. We, on the other hand, go into buying, selling, shop management, salesmanship, and everything you would need to know to open, manage or work as a designer in a successful shop. Be sure, when you choose your school, you select one that awards a department of education DIPLOMA upon completion of the training, not simply a "Certificate of Completion," because testing is necessary and important in your training field.

We sincerely appreciate your interest in our school, and hope to have the pleasure of meeting you one day soon. Thank you again for the opportunity of allowing us to send you our catalog, and please, if you have any concerns or questions, just let us know. All good wishes in your quest for a better future, and we wish you success in all you do.
