Michael's Intro to Floral Design is fabulous! I highly recommend it for both the general flower enthusiast and students looking to start a career in floral design. Michael is so knowledgeable and, with his witty sense of humor, made the classes so engaging. I can't wait to sign up for the Design Start Class!

I recently completed the Design Star Course at the San Francisco School of Flower Design, and it exceeded all expectations. The hands-on experience and expert guidance elevated my flower design skills significantly. As a flower shop owner, I've already noticed a positive impact on my arrangements. Five stars for an enriching and practical learning experience!

Michael truly has a gift for teaching and storytelling. Not only is he passionate about sharing everything he knows with his students, but he uses metaphors, humor, and stories to make concepts sticky and memorable.The class structure is dynamic, hands-on, and well-paced, keeping me, someone who easily gets bored in group settings, completely captivated. The class length is also perfect, allowing for both in-depth learning and practical application.You will be shocked by the designs you are able to create on the first day. Not only will you have gained classical floral training by the end of your first day, but the sheer amount of flowers and materials provided pays for the class itself.I also loved the books we received! They are full of Michael's stories that will make you smile and laugh, and most importantly remember what you are learning. I highly recommend his classes and plan on coming back for the week long Design Star class.

I just took Michael Gaffney’s Intro to Flower Design Course in San Francisco . I have learned more in 2 days than I have learned in years of watching videos or attending Floral Demo events. I cannot believe the floral arrangements, that I created , and walked out with on the first day! He makes the hands on learning experience fun and non-intimidating.In summary, I wanted to learn basic floral design principles that I could then use and apply to design and create my own arrangements. I got that and more, for he also teaches you key tips and principles related to how to upscale the looks to a professional level!
