Flower Shop Tour

Take a tour of New York City’s Finest flower shops with the FlowerSchool! Meet accomplished designers and see the wonderful world of NYC’s floral industry. From home studios to flower shop/cafes to wholesale vendors, we will see all kinds of stores.

Please note that this program is a tour around New York City to a variety of floral workshops, home studios, and shops in the Chelsea and Tribeca areas. Be prepared for a day of walking as well as a subway ride. Students will not make any arrangements this day.

The Flower Shop Tour allows Floral Design Program students an opportunity to explore options for their internship experiences, but all are welcome.
