HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE JUNE MEETING…
FLOWER ARRANGING WORKSHOP
By popular demand, designer Mitch Reed was back for more teaching and inspiration on floral design.
Mitch shared valuable information on flower choices, designs and using floral foam for arrangements as well as which floral foams were now biodegradable. He made a beautiful arrangement as an example for us! Armed with his tips and the flowers we had brought from our gardens, we created table arrangements for a local nursing home.
It was so fun to have the opportunity to be creative while we had Mitch there to guide us!
Huge THANK YOU to Mitch for sharing his expertise with us! (See images from the 2025 FLOWER ARRANGEMENT WORKSHOP HERE.)
