Teacher Highlight

Courtney Bowden

With 11 years of floral design experience spanning four major U.S. markets, New York City, Washington D.C., Denver, and Charlotte, Courtney Bowden recently launched her own venture, August Company, bringing luxe floral experiences to high-end hotels and discerning clients across NYC. Passionate about teaching and mentoring the next generation of designers, she champions formal floral design education as the key to a thriving career. When she’s not crafting stunning arrangements, you’ll find her fueled by cappuccinos, snacking on pints of cherry tomatoes, and grooving to a good 80s new wave playlist.
