Must Do

If you love roses, this is a wonderful time to be alive. There are literally hundreds of rose varieties, colors, shapes and sizes available throughout the year. But, a summer rose from the garden still seems the most beautiful. Join us for Arranging Summer Roses on July 10.  You will learn updated care and handling methods, novel design styles and new techniques as you create your own beautiful summer rose arrangement.

In Season

"It’s summer time and the living is easy…"

Yarrow loves the summer time. Long sunny days and hot, dry weather; these are the makings of beautiful yarrow. Pink, white, red, yellow and ivory – it blooms in a myriad of colors. The yellow is the hardiest and dries beautifully just sitting a vase. The other colors, while lovely, are just not quite as sturdy. They will dry but you need to hang them upside down to keep them from drooping and looking “dead” rather than “dried”.

Looking Ahead

It's Summertime!  The markets are filled with zinnias, peonies, lilies, asters and roses.  How can you resist.    You have gathered a marvelous bundle of colorful summer flowers and foliages....... Now what?  Join us on July 19 for Arranging Summer Flowers in a Vase and learn how to create wonderful summer vase arrangements
