Hi. I'm Sue.
I believe that floristry is an art form, and we are artists! I aim to offer immediately useful and relevant educational information that equips and empowers florists- allowing them to express their creativity and make what they crave to see. When we harness our creativity, we create more interesting, artful work that fills us and elevates our profession. I want to help students make incredible work that draws the public in, making them more curious about what florists are capable of.
My passion for the profession led me to pivot from work as an event florist to teaching floristry. With over 20 years in floral design, a published author and speaker, I can say with confidence, no matter where you are in your business, I’ve been there too! Having taught over 20,000 students, I am passionate about helping florists build their confidence and find their creative voice.
You've got nothing to lose...
Rest assured, when you buy this, you've got 30 days to try it out and ask for your money back - with no weird questions or push from me or my team.
The challenge of a florist is to create perfectly-timed art out of natural, fleeting elements.
- Susan McLeary
