Learn how to create your own floral arrangement using seasonal flowers and foliage collected from the garden grounds. We’ll begin with a basic introduction on floral design, go over the already collected materials available, and then head outside to collect a few items together. We’ll end the class by creating our arrangements to take home, as well as discussing tips for foraging in your own yard and ways to prolong the life of your arrangements.
