Motivation to change behaviour

Our carefully curated collection of resources have been designed to inspire action as much as they inform students.

Evidence-based learning

Content is supported by references, links to resources and further reading so students can pursue interests beyond the course requirements.

Self-assessment

Short quizzes throughout invite reflection and reinforce learning to help guide students through the process of better decision making.

A new system

We show students how a principles-based approach to design and doing business can collectively transform the industry for a better global future.

Will the course certify me as a 'sustainable florist' with the Sustainable Floristry Network?

No. The SFN is an education and member organisation. 

The SFN does not run a certification scheme or a compliance program. That means the SFN does not accredit, certify or audit individuals or businesses as 'sustainable florists'.  

Completing this course will not make you a Sustainable Florist certified by the SFN.

At the end of this course, you'll receive a Certificate of Completion confirming that you have completed all units of the training course.

Completing this training course is a requirement of the Fleurop/Interflora sustainability training program.

The SFN is an independent education and membership organisation for florists.

At the SFN, we are creating a new standard for floristry, based around sustainability principles.

We saw a need for truly independent, science-based education that builds sustainability in from the beginning.

This is the first course in our Flowers 2030 education program

A FORCE FOR NATURE

SFN is resetting ideas about flowers and floral design for a healthy global future. We believe that together, we can transform the world of floristry into a sustainable one.
