Florist Services

Business, Training and Consulting Services for Florists

As the How To Consultants for florists, one thing is very unique about us. We have walked in your shoes as shop owners and understand the daily requirements of time, energy and capital. Many floral consultants have a business background and can talk-the talk but as former owners with extensive business, financial and management backgrounds, we can walk-the-walk. If you have not already done so, please review the bios of Peter Berden and Ed Oman. You will see that our experience in the industry may make us the best teachers. Oh, and all the floral designs on these pages are by Peter Berden.
