A word from Joan Johnson              

If you are looking for a career redirection or just simply want to enjoy the experience of working with flowers, may I suggest you enroll in one of my  courses at the Joan Johnson School of Floral Design.

I established my first school in 1971 and many of my students have gone on to develop successful careers in the field, many operating their own florist shops.
At the Joan Johnson School of Floral Design, I offer an intensive course, the enrollment is kept to a minimum per class as I prefer to be accessible to provide personalized tutoring for each student. Our students use only fresh cut flowers and students take home their own floral creations daily.  Upon successful completion of my course, students are awarded a Diploma recognized within ithe industry.
