Virtual European Flower Tour
Tiptoe virtually through the tulips with us!
Join us on our Virtual European Flower Tour! You will experience the joy and beauty of European spring flowers while exploring the rich culture of The Netherlands and Belgium. You will take flower arranging classes from European instructors and watch tours and discussions with people extremely knowledgeable in their fields. Anyone who loves flowers will enjoy and learn from our tours.
Experience what it is like to be on one of our in-person flower tours, but from the comfort of your own home! We created this virtual tour with many of the same instructors and tour leaders that make our in-person tours so successful. Now you can enjoy this culturally rich program anytime, anywhere - including 4 floral design workshops and 1 floral demonstration. Watch the floral demonstrations over and over again to master each design. Watch the tours and discussions when you need a flower pick-me-up.
Immerse yourself in the joy of flowers!
