I’ve got two floral workshops in December at New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill in Bolton MA. The first workshop on December 6th is part of NEBG’s “Craft-mas” series, and it includes a craft element in addition to floral arranging. On December 13, we’re making an oval centerpiece, perfect for table or mantle. For this workshop, you can choose a red/green palette or a white/blue palette.

The photos shown are examples of prior workshop florals. We’ll be working with gorgeous flowers and textural foliage purchased from the Boston Flower Exchange a few days before the workshops. Come enjoy some creative mindfulness and make something pretty!

Refreshments will be served at the workshops. See the link in my bio for more info. Please share this with your floral and/or crafty friends!

This is a Rising Form design entered in the recent Ikebana Flower Exhibit at (October 24-26), put on by the Ikebana International Boston Chapter. I’m no Ikebana pro, but I’m catching on! Lines, form, color, intent, feeling, and LOTS of editing. I
