Option 2 is to pay half as a down-payment and the other half 2 months before the start of the course.

A set of tools (Oasis penknife, Pruning Shears, Wire Cutters) but do bring your own when you want to do so. - Dutch Style Lunch buffet, dinner during the day that we have the evening lesson.

- Materials to practice at home;
- Materials that you like to use for the exam outside of the budget.

I felt challenged, inspired and fulfilled with so many concepts and creative freedom within the assignments. The floral products we were using were beautiful! I highly recommend any course from Boerma whatever level of floral enthusiast you may be. Happy to answer any questions
