The World of Flowers: Floral Design Sampler
This was a delight! Michael Gaffney taught the class a ton of information in a clear and useful delivery. I had so much fun at the class, and I learned way more than I thought I would in just a few hours. Will definitely take another class. -

The World of Flowers: Floral Design Sampler
I enjoyed the class and had fun. Michael was very helpful and wanted us to learn as much as he offered us in class. I will recommend this class to anyone who asks about it. I was disappointed by the way course horse gave a few descriptions of this class. We did not use $200. worth of tools we had a pair if scissors from dollar tree and you made it sound like his book was included in the price of the class, it was not, I paid extra for it. Overall it was a great experience and I really enjoyed Michael and his personality. -
The Collection: Introduction to Flower Design
Amazing class!!! Michael made everything very easy, explaining and demonstrating everything as he went. Fun personality, witty and great sense of humor. I can make beautiful flower arrangements and it’s only been 3 days!! -

Honestly an all around wonderful experience and totally worth it. What a great memory! -
The World of Flowers: Floral Design Sampler
It was a fun class to take. However, it was very crowded (about 30 people) so you were left to your own most of the time. After the demonstration, you went to a station to create the floral arrangement. There were many assistants to replace missing floral pieces but they did not offer suggestions or guidance. The instructor stayed on the other side of the room and I believe offered assistance to them, but he did not come to our side. But I LOVED it and would recommend it, and hope you have a smaller class than I had. -

My mom, aunt, and I had such a great time learning to make 3 types of floral arrangements. Michael had such great tips and was so very entertaining. We now plan to check out his 3 or 5 day floral classes. Highly recommend taking this course. -
