Spring Centerpiece workshop – Thurs., Apr 17, 6-8 p. m. $165

Our first full design workshop of the season and it’s on my BIRTHDAY!! Nothing I’d rather do to celebrate than play with flowers with lovely people! And this arrangement will brighten your home/table through  your Spring or Easter Sunday Celebration. So much beauty is blossoming on the farm mid-April. Lilacs should be full, peonies are just opening up along with bridal veil spirea, ranunculus, anemone, dames rocket, viburnum, and the sweetest snapdragons! Sweet peas may make an appearance along with other spring bloomers and all work beautifully together. The early spring green foliage is such a sweet compliment to it all and finishes it off with a flourish.

We will demo a centerpiece in a vessel that allows flowers to spill over casually. We will explain the principles of design that will allow each participant to create a lush long lasting arrangement using all the bounty spring provides. Gentle guidance will be offered and help provided when needed but the variety of floral material make this arrangement one all can master. We’ll work outside at the Homeplace and move inside if inclement weather. No prior experience is needed and beginners are welcome. When we’re done creating we will style your piece for a photo that you can then share with others. Cost of the workshop includes instruction, all floral material, vessel, and perhaps a few extra flowers to take home at the end of the evening. Registration is not refundable but if you can’t attend you can send a friend in your place. See below for more details.
