Design your own summer floral centerpiece in this beginner-friendly class! Join Elle, farmer-florist at Mellifera Flowers, to learn the technical and artistic basics to floral design, and in the process create your own unique centerpiece with 100% local blooms from her farm and other local growers.

Class will begin with an overview of best practices for harvesting and preparing flowers to ensure the longest vase life. After learning some color theory basics and design principles, you will dive into the “flower buffet”–featuring early summer favorites like snapdragons, cosmos, and delphinium –selecting ingredients that speak to you. Let the flowers guide your creativity, with artistic encouragement and technical advice from Elle along the way.

No previous floral experience necessary — in fact, you may find a new interest sparked! With the tips and tricks offered in this workshop, you’ll be able to elevate your farmers market, backyard garden, and grocery store bouquets into unique, organic arrangements. Perfect for gardeners looking to better showcase their blooms, creatives looking for new mediums of expression, or anyone craving more play and self-expression in their life.
