Tutors Goal:

It is my aim that every student that participates in this class will at the end of each class be able to take home with them a completed design that has been taught on that day. As an incentive I would also like to take my class on a field trip to visit 2 of Auckland’s largest Importers of Floral Products and Silk Flowers. I believe this would be helpful information for students thinking about ongoing careers in the Floral Industry.
