I enjoyed the class I took with Michael. He motivated you to do your design in a confident manner. People taking classes with him will learn a lot!!

I have taken multiple classes and I learned so much. I now design arrangements that I give for gifts. I have also done arrangements for tables at small events. I have become much more creative and I think about working at a flower shop once I retire! I love what I learned in attending Michael’s classes.

These classes are phenomenal. Michael shares his knowledge of all the best practices required to work with live flowers so you can make your own beautiful arrangements. Taking your flower creations home each day to share with family and friends is great. Michael's flower design books can be used to spark ideas for your own designs.

Michael’s class was very informative interesting and fun! I did a three-day class and wish I would have done a week. Also, the class paid for itself in beautiful flowers. Thank you Michael, you are awesome!

I have thoroughly enjoyed Michael Gaffney and Flower School 101, in Chicago this past week! While I have watched his YouTube videos for the past several months and learned so much, the class was exceptional! Michael is well spoken, well traveled and has worked with many fascinating people in his career. His life story and experiences are remarkable and encourage all. He is easy to talk to, question and learn from. His easy going style of leading and instructing gives confidence to anyone who has or has no experience in working with floral design. I finished my class feeling like I’ve learned and I’m confident in my floral design. I look forward to joining his Master Designer class. If I had to rate this instructor, class and experience on a 1 to 10 scale I’d have to rate it at 19+, EXCELLENT! I’d recommend Michael Gaffney and this school in flower design to everyone that would consider taking it.
