Yes we just did that! Friday night floral design class at Modesto Jr. College. Great time sharing info about the California Certified Florist certification program - why floral certification matters, how to get CCF certified and growth as a designer. We also had time to explore one of the certification exam requirements - the hand-tied bouquet. Such a great night! Thank you Kristi Short CCF for the invitation and opportunity.
Thank you Cal Flowers for your support of the CCF program!
