SAFD

Welcome to SAFD!

“We learn how, share the knowledge and then give it away”

We are the Society for the Advancement of Floral Design, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization who promotes the study and enjoyment of floral design through volunteerism, educational programs and community involvement. Our members range in experience from the novice designer to floral shop owners and Texas Master Florists.

SAFD hosts a monthly meeting on the third Tuesday of every month. Our meetings are held at the Cypress Creek Christian Church and Community Center located at 6823 Cypresswood Dr., Spring , TX 77379. Our meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. with a social and snacks followed by the general meeting and speaker at 7 p.m. Our speakers are local floral designers who share their ideas and tips with us. They donate the floral arrangements they created during the meeting for our raffle held at the end of the meeting. Occasionally, we will have hands on workshops to allow our members an opportunity to learn different floral design techniques. Many of our workshops are lead by our own talented members! We also may have special meetings offsite to visit various wholesalers and event planners.

SAFD actively participates in community affairs in the local area. We provide floral arrangements to local hospice centers and nursing homes. We meet monthly to create these arrangements. Our members learn new techniques while providing an arrangement for charity. A win win for everyone!

We also provide floral centerpieces for galas hosted by local charities. These arrangements are provided free of charge to these organizations. Our community affairs activities are an important part of our organization.

Our major fundraiser each year is our Table Top gala held in April of every year. This is a wonderful opportunity for our members and local florists to showcase their talents. Please visit the Table Top gala section in our website to learn about this year’s Table Top and view pictures from previous galas. We would love to see you there!

SAFD also provides scholarships to students and adults who wish to pursue a career in floral design, would like to attend continuing education classes or attend convention. Please visit our scholarship section to see if you qualify.
