Group Directory

Workshop participants ease into the day with creative prompts and a welcome circle to get grounded and set the tone.
Our first session focuses on the foundations of floral design. From tool basics to flower care and simple composition tips, you’ll start building confidence and finding your creative rhythm.
Participants will be responsible for brining their own lunch, but we'll provide water and some additional snacks throughout the day.
With the basics fresh, we’ll dive into hands-on arranging. We’ll explore shape, scale, and movement while encouraging personal style through floral design.
To close the day, you’ll create a final piece to share with the group. We’ll reflect on your process and celebrate the creativity that unfolded.
