Brought to you by:
I started with a love for flowers and attended Megan’s Comprehensive Professional Flower Class to expand and further my journey in flowers and the floristry industry. Megan’s floristry knowledge, her fun interactive style of teaching, patience and ability to connect and teach her floristry passion to all students was inspiring. I am now studying the Level 2 OPNZ Floristry Course 2019 all starting from Megan’s teaching and passion for floristry to new students who have a love for flowers and the floristry industry. Thank you Megan.
