HISTORY
Founded in 1965 by a group of farsighted and experienced floral artists
who saw the need for an independent body to promote and maintain uniformity
and high standards in Floral Art and Judging.
This was in keeping with World trends at that time.
The Association was first called Victorian Judges School. This was
changed in the early
80’s to present name. One huge task these early pioneers undertook
for the Association
was the publication of a Handbook which has been revised several times
as designs change. This handbook has now been incorporated, along with
handbooks from all States into the Australian Floral Art Association Inc
Manual 2006
In keeping with the original ideals VFAJA became a teaching body holding
the first School in 1966 and these have continued since.
Through the process of Accreditation those Judges who have passed their
initial Examination are required to keep up their commitment to promoting and
maintaining high standards in Judging and Floral Art by attending Workshops,
Seminars, Shows, Demonstrating and Exhibiting.
In this way they keep abreast of current trends in floral design.
Victorian Floral Art Judges Association, through the late Lois Barnett,
was a prime mover in Australia Floral Art Association
joining WAFA,1981.
