Located in the lovely community of Lakewood, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, Hixson's School of Floral Design has served the floral industry for over thirty years. Our premise has been to provide this creative industry with practical money-making ideas and design techniques that increase profits and refine design in an ever-growing, exciting design field.

Over the years we have been given a vote of confidence by continued support for our classes, lectures, and of course, through the purchase of our design books and videos.

About our School
Our floral design course is designed so the beginner can easily become proficient. Our advanced courses are beneficial to anyone involved in the floral industry. Our graduates can be found in flower shops, design centers, sales, management, and educational positions throughout the United States. We even have a graduate who has been at the White House over 20 years.

Basic Floral School
Our 11 day school consists of hands-on workshops, lectures, and demonstrations. Our Basic Floral School covers everything a student needs for an entry level floral design position or to begin his or her own floral business.

Students gain proficiency by working 11 hour days. Classes begin at 9:00 a.m. and conclude at 8:00 p.m. Text books and a wide selection of fresh flowers and foliages are used throughout the program and students work on their own projects with an instructor. All materials and flowers are provided. You will learn how to design the same professional flower arrangements seen in flower shops, boutiques, at weddings, parties and funerals.

Limited enrollment
Class sizes are limited to so our staff can work with every designer on an individual basis.
