Working with new products on the market in commercial use, the tutors will show the most cost effective balance between sundries, flower and foliage.  From the recent economical situation, masses of flowers are now rather outdated.  Consumers are much happier to pay less for a greater impact.   A stem of rose can be a beautiful creation even with couple colour sticks.  Learn the tips and give a twist on your own.
