Throughout history, flowers have been used to convey emotion, decorate gardens and homes, and provide a beautiful backdrop for nuptials. But flowers don't grow out of the ground in beautiful arrangements---floral designers use their skills to arrange them. Floral design is an art form you can learn in a classroom.
