Participants will be given the opportunity to make their own Valentines’ Day arrangement for himself or herself or that special someone. The workshop’s participants will learn basic floral arranging techniques, design and plant selection. Participants will also work with a selection of carnations, mums and roses.
All participants will take home a fresh flower bouquet of mums, roses, carnations, greenery and other spring colors. A fee of $30 is required in order to participate in the workshop. This fee will include all materials and 14” vase.

There will also be larger, 14” vase flower arrangements made with spray roses, mum, carnations, alstroemerias and greens on sale for $30.00. There are limited quantities available so be sure to order early. There is also delivery available if needed.
