Hi John,
I wanted to take
the time to say thank you for a very enlightening and empowering
class on floral design. I know that wedding floral design is going
to assist my business greatly in its expansion. Your knowledge and
skill was perfect for my introduction to the industry. Because of
you, I am entering the world of floral design with a keen
understanding and overwhelming appreciation for “floral engineers”J
I came home and started working immediately on a few designs for my
portfolio.
I wish you well in
your endeavors and I will be back next year for the advanced class.
I will keep in
touch

I highly
recommend John Klingel, AAF, AIFD and PFCI for any floral related
educational projects. I have personally known and worked with him
for over 20 years on the design circuit. I know that the difference
between floral design schools is that John provides one on one for
his students. You won’t find his ability to personally adjust the
subject matter and challenge to meet the needs of each student at
any other school.

Dear John,
Well, I’m
back at the shop and into the swing of things again. I really
enjoyed attending the Basic Floral Design course at the South
Florida Center for Floral Studies. Boy, you cover a lot in that
time frame. I particularly liked the information about post-harvest
care and handling of flowers and the business practices and
procedures you gave us. Just when you think you know it all well,
no one does.
I have
started applying the suggestions you made in my shop and although,
my staff initially rejected some of it they have grown to adjust and
we are all better professionals for it.
Stay in touch,
Regards,

Dear John:
I hope this message
finds you well.
Finally I have a
day to re-send the message that I been trying to get to you,
specially the pictures of some of the work of the past two weeks and
my personal view of the class that I was able to take at the South
Florida Center for Floral Studies.
Let me start by
saying how lucky I feel to have selected your school and learn from
the best!
The curriculum, the
knowledge that you past on to all of us, the suggestions and stories
and mainly the way you taught the class combined with your
personality made it fun, and easy to absorb all that information
that on the daily bases I find myself utilizing it and practicing.
It is after all a
new business foe me, but I have decided to embrace the challenges
that come along.
I'm feeling very
confident and I can't wait to have the opportunity to take the
advance course.
I thank you from
the bottom of my heart for helping me get the confidence that I need
to pursue this new venture. I love flowers, I love people and
mainly I love to do something that makes me feel productive and
happy, and the combination of the flowers with the decor, event
services makes me feel just like that!
As I said that last
day of school, you will be hearing from me, I thing you are a great
person and you are the best of the best.
Thanks,
Best Regards

Dear John,
As a veteran of the
gift basket industry, business owner and educator for the gift
basket industry I understand the benefits of a solid education. When
I decided to expand my business a few years back into event
design with an emphasis on florals I wanted to learn as much as
possible about floral design. I started my education with an
introductory three week floral design course which gave me a basic
understanding of the mechanics of floral design. However, it wasn't
until I attended your advanced floral design course that it really
came together for me. Then when you announced your first wedding
workshop I was thrilled to attend and rightfully so, the course was
fantastic!
Your passion for
floral design shows in everything you do John and I am thankful to
have had the opportunity to learn from someone as experienced and
talented as you are. I would highly recommend the South Florida
Center for Floral Studies to anyone looking to enter or expand their
knowledge of the floral design industry. I wish you continued
success with the school and look forward to visiting you during my
next trip to sunny South Florida!
Best Wishes,
Karyn LoCicero

The reason I
decided to drop you a line was to thank you for everything you did
for Karen & me. You accepted us unconditionally, treated us with
respect, ignored my sarcasm, and truly 'taught' us. Due to my
background; I know a great teacher when I meet one. You Sir are the
greatest. I hereby award you with the infamous Dr. John Francis
William Connelly 'Teacher of the Year Award'. I'll have you know
that it is an award that many have chased but few have caught. In
all sincerity, thank you Sir for your patience, your method, and
your ability. You have truly changed the direction of our lives and
I'll always remember you.
Sincerely,
Jack and Karen
