This flexible online course will remain open for registration until 6 days after the course start date. Note the "Schedule" of each session for more information.
Familiarize yourself with the basics of sustainable floral design through orchids. This course teaches you to create stunning arrangements, step by step, with simple design principles and easy-to-find materials. You'll gain confidence in your skills by creating three orchid arrangements as part of a learning community, while exploring the fascinating history of these enigmatic flowers.

How It Works
Over the course of four weeks, you'll be given access to a new online module each Wednesday that teaches you the introductory principles of floral design using orchids. You will have one week to complete the assigned coursework and participate in the discussion board for each module, and you'll get live feedback from your instructor when you turn in your final project at the end of the course. You can revisit the modules and discussion board for up to 30 days after the completion of your course..
