What they are saying

Reviews

Becky is an awesome teacher and it was exactly what I needed to push my business to the next level. I learned a lot on a floral design level but more importantly on a business level. I can’t thank Becky enough for the opportunity

- Jaclyn, Hamilton

“I am so happy that I took a chance to attend this course at Bloom School, especially while in the early stages of building a farm business. Becky is a wonderful teacher with so much great information and experience to share. I’ll reflect back on this training regularly as I move ahead with flowers”

-Nicole, Toronto
