Lessons for groups

For over 30 years the Boerma Instituut has organised national and international floral design courses. It is one of they few, if not the only school where you can learn professional and the practical skills of Dutch Floral design. Here you can truly learn all there is to know about the ‘tricks of the trade’, this is something that is regarded very high in all our courses.

For companies, organisations and association
We can offer companies, organisations and association, who all have their own special wishes, ‘custom made’ lesson programmes. These practical lessons can be given at the Boerma Instituut in Aalsmeer, where we have access to all the necessary materials, but we can also go to other locations,  in Holland or
abroad.

Whether were talking about a product presentation, a day to relax and have fun for your employees or relations, a demonstration or a professional training: everything is possible !

Just say when, how, with what, where and what fore a training is wanted, for every level of expertise there is bound to be a ‘floral solution’ to be found.
Whether were talking about a hand tied bouquet, a Biedermeier arrangement, a decorative wreath, a Christmas or exclusive arrangement. And all of this within a period and a group-size that you desire, from half a day till, for example, five or more days.

If you book a day- or a complete course, an extensive lunch-buffet is included in the course fee, served in our comfortable bar ‘Café de Mijnen’.

For a group course you can register online, we will contact you about the accurate dates and wishes.

Some groups even travel half way over the world to visit
Holland, the land of flowers, according to the people from 'Artistic Adventures' in New Zealand. Two ladies of the group where even in the book ‘International Annual Floral Art 05/06’. They came over to have a look at our floral book shop.
Of course our bookshop was two small for around fourty ladies but we have spread out the books in the second classroom, so they could nose around in the more then 180 floral books. (at that time, now we have more then 200 books)
Just before they left our school, the forty ladies sang a very beautiful song together. That was so enchanting, it moved us all. (into tears)

According to our clients:
"According to the teacher Ms.Sakai, all over, including  comparison to a school in France, the Boerma Institute is the place that offers the best workshops.
Group had Dutch style lunch which students well enjoyed as food was heartfully home-made one!!!
They enjoyed staying in the institute very much  and even though students were not used to make a large design in Japan, it was well worth it.
The atmosphere was brilliant, teacher are well used to welcome foreign student, they carried out socially and with a snappy joke.
Thank you very much for making this tour successful and hope to work with you in the future.

kind regards, Jara.
