In this show Mike gives his best advice for florists - old and new. He talks about how his designs have changed over time. Mike is an inspiration in the floral design world. I'm so excited for you to hear him talk about his greatest passion and share his best design tips with you. He will inspire you to be more creative, less afraid and embrace a style that is uniquely your own. The floral industry is grateful for Mike's work, energy and the way he is inspiring others to think & teach design differently. Mike really is "epic!"
