Must Do

Next week promises to be a very exciting week.  It begins on August 7 with Summer Escape with Flowers. This is the Flower Lover's version of a summer day camp.  A full day of flowers: new techniques, new supplies and new designs.  What fun!  We'll be reviewing the elements and principles of design as you create three designs to take home.  Techniques of petaling, wrapping, geometrics, and reverse proportion will be covered.   Be sure to register early, this once-a-year class is sure to fill quickly.   All three of these arrangements are brand new to our classroom this year.

On August 9 Hand-Tied Summer Bouquet is featured as both a day and night class. In this class you will learn the basic techniques used to lace colorful summer flowers together into freestanding bouquets designed to easily drop into any vase you chose.  Make it a grand week.  Invite a friend and take all three classes.  What fun!

In Season

Gorgeous Dahlias are in season. Bursting with color, these blooms come in so many shapes and sizes that you can find the perfect flower for most any design. The only problem? They aren’t in bloom year ‘round!
