Alexandra Farms and Holly Chapple Flowers are proud to announce the Alexandra Farms Certified Designer program.
Garden roses are unique from other roses, and these beautiful blooms deserve customized care. This program was designed for everyone who loves floral design, with tracks for both professional designers and garden rose enthusiasts.
Join Jose R. Azout, president of Alexandra Farms, and floral designer/educator Holly Heider Chapple for a 12-part course that will teach you everything you need to know about garden roses. You will learn all about these incredible flowers, from the history to varieties to the right anatomical vocabulary. You’ll gain confidence in caring for and arranging with garden roses, and the knowledge of how to better choose garden roses—particularly, to make a positive impact on the world through sustainable floristry.
Florists will benefit from elevating their knowledge and joining a supportive community that can help them grow. After completing the course, floral professionals will gain access to design recipes, special sales, early notification of new varieties, and the right to advertise themselves as an Alexandra Farms Certified Designer—AFCD.
