Floral Design Certificate Programs

All classes take place at Warner Castle unless otherwise stated in the description. For off-site classes, you will receive directions by mail or email before the class. Preregistration is required for most classes. Register early! Most classes have a maximum of 8 students. Floral design classes require that materials be ordered ahead of time, and may not be able to accommodate last-minute registrations. In case of bad weather, RCGC is usually closed when the city schools are closed. If in doubt call 585/473-5130. Scholarship assistance is available for certificate programs. If you are interested in applying, call Judy Hubbard for more information at 585-473-5130 or email rcgcjh@frontiernet.net. Scholarship funds are available thanks to generous donations from Gerald and Karen Kral and the Rochester Herb Society.
