Our 2024–25 Floral Fun Series invites you to explore and create a uniquely beautiful, themed floral design each month in celebration of an occasion, holiday, or activity relevant to that month.
In January, kick off 2025 with a fabulous floral arrangement that rings in the New Year—made by you! Join professional floral designer Shannon Toal in designing an arrangement that brings to mind the glitz and glamour of a disco dance party, all in celebration of the year to come. Combine fresh flowers with reflective elements and bring home something to wow your friends and family.
