Welcome to FlowerSchool New York

FlowerSchool New York provides floral design classes for enthusiasts and floral professionals alike. Founded in 2003 by director Eileen Johnson, FlowerSchool New York is dedicated to showcasing the best in floral design. We offer Master Classes with a roster of the best Master Floral Designers in New York City, with frequent guest designers from throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. It is the mission of FlowerSchool New York to encourage an appreciation for flowers and to provide all floral lovers and professional florists with opportunities to develop their knowledge of flowers, whether through a Master Class, an Open Studio or an Evening Lecture.

Our Master Floral Designers

FlowerSchool New York's Master Floral Designers have been selected because of their achievement in floral design. Each Master Floral Designer has a unique style that has made him or her famous. Our goal is to hold classes where florists of all levels, from beginner to advanced, will have the opportunity to share in that designer's vision and create a work of art along side each master floral designer.
