Successful graduates work in public as well as private institutions,
which may include running their own floral shop, wholesaling to the
retailer, or working as an independent freelance floral designer for
hotels and special events. CCSF floristry graduates and alumni are
in demand by such companies such as FTD, Teleflora, and 1-800-Flowers.
"Students from City College of San Francisco receive
an excellent floral education, one that stresses practical application
as well as creativity. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable
and very active in all aspects of the floral community - they bring
their skills and industry connections directly to their students"
