\"Floral<\/a>For nearly 40 years, NYBG<\/a> has offered its prestigious and world-respected Certificate<\/a> in Floral Design.<\/p>\n

And this year, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Floral Design Summer Intensive Program<\/a>, in which designers looking to jump start their careers can complete all Certificate-required classroom hours in just five weeks!<\/p>\n

This past month, in a beautiful Garden ceremony, 32 new graduates received their Floral Design Certificates. Many are already working in the industry, and for many, the journey to their dream began on the Summer Intensive track.<\/p>\n

These graduates now belong to a large and influential network of alumni across the Metropolitan area and beyond, joining such well-known designers as \u201cNYC\u2019s Rose Queen\u201d Alix Astir<\/a> (2010 Graduate), who runs a successful floral and botanical beauty business; BRRCH Studio\u2019s Brittany Asch<\/a> (2013 Summer Intensive), whose work has been featured in Vogue, Martha Stewart Weddings, Elle D\u00e9cor, and more; and Marcela Bonancio<\/a> (2012 Summer Intensive), who serves a host of corporate clients from her NY-based Lotus Blossom Atelier.
\n
\nMany alumni and current students say that a love of nature was what first brought them to floral design, which is why they were drawn to NYBG\u2019s unique setting and unmatched resources. Combining top professional instructors, comprehensive classes that pair art and technique, and the daily inspiration of the Garden\u2019s natural beauty, the NYBG Floral Design Certificate can really open doors.<\/p>\n
