We're excited to announce that applications are now open for flower shops and floral professionals to become members of the Institute of Professional Floristry.

Founding Members will have opportunities to:

• Participate in national industry surveys.

• Contribute their professional experiences to research projects.

• Help identify the challenges facing today's florists.
