Here's what people are saying about the workshop:

“Jelena uses her talents and skills to inspire, encourage, and educate those she works with. Her interactive classes are chock full of fantastic and applicable skills along with excellent education on how to select, style, and care for flowers!”- Dr. Judy Ho

"After taking Jelena's one-day workshop I feel like I have a new hobby! I never realized how much artistry goes into flower design, and learning from a pro (and getting her feedback) gave me so much confidence. I can't wait to arrange for my family's upcoming holidays and events." - Jamie V.

"I think about flowers in a whole different way. As an event planner I struggle for inspiration to help my clients with florals for their events. After taking this class I look at flowers in a different way, and I will be approaching flower arranging with confidence and a level of expertise my clients deserve." - Kerry L.
