Gregor Lersch
Master of Master florists
Lersch (1949) grew up among flowers. He studied at the master school in Bonn, became a florist and took part in various competitions. After winning the 1978 European Cup in Rome, Italy, he soon concluded that sharing knowledge was the only way to go on. He started teaching floral design. Nationally at first, but soon interest from abroad followed. He now travels the world reaching out to students and florists on all continents. Lersch: ’It is my greatest motivation to make people feel that designing with flowers is the most normal thing in the world.’ Besides being a floral designer and teacher, Lersch is also the author of several books on floral design. www.gregorlersch.de
