Celebrate the season with a deliciously fun floral arrangement that captures the joyous spirit of the holidays.
With the guidance of instructor Melissa Palmer, use the colors of the season—red, white, and more—and the charming holiday elements of pinecones and candy canes to bring a playful and whimsical touch to your floral design.
Holiday Village Workshops are part of Longwood @ The Creamery, engaging horticultural experiences offered throughout the year in a spirited community space. These workshops are offered during the Kennett Square Holiday Village Market, and each one includes a seasonal cocktail and admission to Longwood Gardens on the date of the workshop.
