Directed at steward/esses of all levels looking to gain skills in floral design and plant care
Description
The Crew Academy’s GUEST-accredited Floristry and Plant Maintenance eLearning course provides a comprehensive guide to creating stunning floral displays and caring for a wide range of indoor plants.
Learn the main principles of floral design and understand how to prepare and plan floral displays pre-guest arrival, taking into consideration guest preferences, location, colour schemes, budgets, and dimensions.
The course covers optimum storage conditions and proper stem preparation to extend the life of fresh flowers. This will include becoming familiar with all the tools, equipment and skills required to correctly cut, prepare, and store cut flowers and foliage, and how to properly use them to create arrangements.
Alongside floristry skills, you will also learn to identify various indoor plants, while developing the skills to care for and maintain popular indoor plants for healthy growth.
Finally, the course will provide participants with an understanding of the relevant health and safety practices including waste disposal, COSHH, and HASAWA regulations, as well as personal safety considerations when working with sharp tools, poisonous and irritant materials, and heavy items.
