Our training programs start in autumn 2025. Whether you're starting from scratch or refining your existing skills, we've built a curriculum that focuses on practical techniques you'll actually use. No fluff, just real hands-on work with living plants and design principles that matter.
Get Course DetailsWe offer two paths depending on where you're starting. Both programs run for several months and give you time to really practice what you learn.
Starts September 2025. This is for complete beginners. We cover plant selection, basic care, and simple arrangement principles. You'll learn how to work with different spaces and lighting conditions. Classes meet twice a week for four months.

Begins October 2025. This program assumes you already understand the basics. We dive into complex arrangements, seasonal rotation strategies, and working with commercial clients. Expect more independent projects and less guided instruction.
Learn MoreFirst few weeks focus on understanding different species. You'll learn which plants thrive in various interior conditions and how to maintain them properly. We cover watering schedules, light requirements, and common problems.
Mid-program, we get into arrangement theory. Balance, proportion, color coordination. This is where you start developing your own style instead of just copying examples. Lots of practice sessions here.
Final phase involves real work. You'll design for actual spaces with specific requirements and constraints. Some students work on residential projects, others tackle office environments. Each situation teaches you something different.
Last month covers practical business considerations. Pricing your work, communicating with clients, sourcing supplies. Not everyone wants to freelance, but knowing these fundamentals helps regardless of your path.
Both of us have been working in this field for years. We've made plenty of mistakes along the way, which means we know what actually trips people up when they're learning.
Foundation Course Lead
Spent eight years working with residential clients before moving into teaching. He's patient with beginners and good at breaking down complex ideas into manageable steps. Worked on projects ranging from small apartments to large commercial lobbies.
Advanced Program Lead
Specializes in seasonal design and large-scale installations. She pushes students harder than Tavish does, which works well for the advanced group. Has consulted for hotels and corporate offices throughout the region since 2017.
Guest Workshop Leader
Runs occasional weekend workshops on specialized topics. His background is in sustainable sourcing and working with local growers. Brings a different perspective that complements the regular curriculum nicely.
Technical Advisor
Handles the plant care and maintenance segments. She's the person to ask when something's dying and you don't know why. Her expertise in troubleshooting has saved countless arrangements over the years.
We're accepting applications starting mid-June for autumn programs. Class sizes stay small so everyone gets individual attention. Reach out if you have questions about which program fits your situation, or if you want to discuss the time commitment involved.
