The last time I taught a hands on design class in my garden was October 2021! I've done presentations and arrangement demos between now and then, but there's something special about the classes where you get to wander the garden and create something magical with whatever speaks to you.
This is the sample arrangement I created in that last garden hands on class. Many of these goodies are, indeed, still in bloom in the garden right now and will be available for you on Sunday. Things like tardiva hydrangea, tricyrtis (toad lily), 'Small World' dahlias, gomphrena, green currant tomatoes - and other things not in this arrangement like fall foliages, sedum, celosia, textural things like hyacinth bean vine pods, crabapples on the branch, hops on the vine, etc. On top of my garden goodies, I'll have some other lovely locally grown and imported beauties to choose from as well like scabiosa, roses, butterfly ranunculus, mums and so much more!
ALSO ---> even if you aren't able to or interested in joining us for either class, everyone is welcome to come join us for a FREE informal garden Q&A and dahlia gawk while we break for lunch! Bring your own food, or add onto our takeout order. Sit on the deck/porch with us, and chat flowers. Browse the 50+ varieties of dahlias that should be in bloom/on display on Sunday, take a picture under the hyacinth bean vine arch or just say hi - I'd love to see you.
