High end Master Class during Trade Fair week

We are proud to announce we were able to book top floral designer Ercole Moroni for a Master Class on Wednesday November 7th in the Fragrant Garden in Aalsmeer!

Ercole Moroni will talk about, what he calls, ’the Ferrari of roses’. And how to approach, see and use them. He will also create the new trade mark image bouquet for Parfum Flower Company and tell you why it’s important to make the right choices.

Special guest

Besides Ercole Moroni we are just as happy to welcome Jo Knight, florist at David Austin Roses in Shropsire. (Where the famous rose gardens are located, and the selection of new varieties takes place).
Together with Ercole Moroni, Jo Knight will talk about David Austin, his cut roses, the specifics of some varieties, and how she designs the typical David Austin arrangements.

Alongside Ercole Moroni we are delighted to welcome Jo Knight, florist at David Austin Roses in Shropshire, which is the home to the English Roses and one of the largest rose breeding programs in the world, creating new varieties of roses for both the garden and for floristry.  Together with Ercole Moroni, Jo Knight will talk about David Austin, his premium cut rose collection designed for premium weddings and events , the individual variety characteristics, and the particular design styles synonymous with David Austin arrangements.

Ercole Moroni

From his website, Ercole Moroni:

I am passionate about flowers and the natural world. My life’s work has evolved from a total commitment to and respect for nature. My flower arrangements are known for their clear, modern design, unfussy and uncluttered, focusing on the natural elements and details that makes each flower unique. A strong technique is evident throughout, enabling and forming the basis on which imaginative and expressive ideas can be realised, harmonious to the spaces they occupy and respectful of the seasons.

 

An ode to the roses – that was what the Master Class will be all about. Ercole Moroni explains why he perceives the scented garden roses as ‘The Ferrari of roses’. He will also demonstrate how to make floral design for Photography. He will create the new bouquet for Parfum Flower Company picture trademark. The Master Class will be held at the Fragrant Garden in Aalsmeer, close to the flower auction.

In the same week two International trade fairs are held; the Flora Holland Trade Fair in Aalsmeer, and the International Trade Fair in Vijfhuizen, both within 30 minutes from the Fragrant Garden.
