Come spend the day in Botanique’s Cutting Garden and Design Studio, for a full-day, introductory course on growing and arranging flowers! We’ll begin the day with a Cutting Garden tour, where Kelly Sullivan, owner, designer, flower grower and creative director of Botanique, will address considerations for planning, planting, tending and maintaining a Cutting Garden. Kelly will also share how, when and where to harvest flowers for maximum vase life, and to encourage plants to re-bloom and stay healthy throughout the season. You will then be set free in the garden with clippers in hand, invited to harvest a bucket full of your favorite flowers from the garden!

After lunch, we’ll regroup in Botanique’s studio for a design lesson, where you will learn how to create a beautiful, seasonal floral arrangement using the flowers you harvested earlier in the day. Kelly will guide you through the design process, and each participant will make their own arrangement to take home.

This class is intended for beginning and intermediate floral designers, home gardeners, and anyone who wants to learn more about the basics of growing and arranging flowers. Professional level floral designers and growers are welcome to attend, but advanced design and growing techniques will not be covered.

Registration will be capped at 12 participants. Early registration is advised. The garden portion of this workshop will take place outside, and there will be both indoor and outdoor (under a canopy) workspace during the design portion to accommodate a range of comfort levels regarding Covid.
