“My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece.” – Claude Monet 

The cutting garden in August is lush with blooms. A variety of colors and textures fill the garden beds. Dahlias, zinnias, celosia, sunflowers, gomphrena, salvia, and herbs are just some of the delights to select for your floral creations. In this workshop, we will create a rustic and casual floral design using blooms from local flower farms in the D.C. region.

All materials are included.  Payment is required in advance due to materials fees and is non-refundable. This program is limited to twelve people and must have a minimum of four participants to take place. In the event that the workshop is cancelled, participants may choose to participate in another session.
