Arranging with Orchids – Floral Design Class
Discover the art of orchid design in this month’s hands-on class, “Arranging with Orchids,” at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden!
You’ll learn how to create stunning orchid arrangements that are balanced, beautiful, and uniquely your own. You’ll pick up expert tips on positioning orchids in their containers, staking them for symmetry, and combining colors to achieve that perfect “wow” factor. You’ll also explore how to design arrangements that suit their space—whether it’s a 360° centerpiece, a two-sided display, or a three-sided composition.
Your instructor, Michael Coronado, Vice President of R. F. Orchids, brings a lifetime of experience to the class. Michael literally grew up at R. F. Orchids, starting at age 13 and working his way from the greenhouses to overseeing the nursery’s growing and hybridizing programs. He has traveled the world studying orchid trends—especially vandaceous orchids, R. F. Orchids’ specialty—and has exhibited at top international shows including several World Orchid Conferences and the Chelsea Flower Show. As a Senior Accredited Judge with the American Orchid Society, Michael will share insider techniques and knowledge you won’t find anywhere else.
🌿 You’ll walk away with:
New confidence in designing with orchids
A deeper understanding of color, balance, and form
Inspiration to create your own orchid displays at home
Come ready to get creative, learn from one of the best, and connect with fellow orchid lovers in a fun, inspiring setting.
