Excelente curso, con una explicación bastante detallada que permite seguir el paso a paso
Excelente curso introductorio para la floristería. Sí es importante realtar que es introductorio en cuanto a la elaboracion de ramos y otros detalles como cuidados y un poco de uso de redes; muchos de esos temas requieren su propia capacitación. Pero en general es muy bueno para todos los que vayamos empezando :)
Buena presentación
