Celebrate the vibrant abundance of summer in this creative floral design class that artfully blends fresh flowers with seasonal produce.
Begin with an inspiring lesson and live demonstration, where you’ll learn techniques for balancing color, texture, and form using both blooms and garden-grown elements. Then put your new skills into practice as you create your own dynamic, summer-inspired arrangement. You’ll leave with a stunning design to take home and fresh ideas for bringing natural beauty to your table.
