Sunday November 08, 10:00 a.m. A simple, tall, square plastic black pot (16”) will be filled full using a 3 foot cut evergreen top resembling a wee Christmas Tree (you can add lights to it when you get home), quality mixed evergreens (pine, BC Silver Fir and Cedar), magnolia, dried hydrangeas, one super-sized pine cone and metal stake to hang our new LED old-school lantern to guide friends and family to your porch. This will be a BIG feature in your outdoor Winter décor that will last throughout the Winter! Updated photo that includes the lantern (and not the cabin shown) will be posted soon. -
This is a newly added workshop! Saturday November 14, 1:00 p.m. In a 23" tall square red and black tin planter participants will add a small cut evergreen tree as the focal element. Layers of fresh and fragrant evergreens will be added (pine, cedars, boxwood, silver fir) to create a full and lush arrangement. Dogwood will add an element of height and drama and a trip to our "Accent Buffet" will offer an additional 5 pods, pinecones or other accents to completely personalize the arrangement. This beautiful arrangement will last outdoors until March as a classic Winter display. And, off-season, this funky container can be used as a drinks holder or spray paint it to create a fun Summer planter! The top bucket does detatch from the legs for easy transport. -

A NEW WORKSHOP! We’ve found a supplier to recreate the metal angel we made popular in our area in the 1990’s! This black metal three-dimensional angel frame stands 34” tall and has a ring at mid-height for a 10" pot to sit; our project is to design an evergreen arrangement in the accompanying pot that will become the focal point of this beautiful addition to your outdoor Winter décor. Amongst the mixed evergreens we’ll use, accents will be offered: pinecones, natural pods, faux berries and more. Your angel can be a feature this season and in other seasons too – how pretty will it be with the pot filled with pansies amid your tulips next Spring? Don’t miss out – we have limited angels for this new design project! NOTE: Our project for this workshop will be larger than pictured. Full project photo to be posted when all materials are on-site. -
Sunday November 15, 1:00 p.m. NEW! A 30” tall black metal scroll stand has a 12” round metal planter that settles in and that is the container for this workshop. It’s an elegant look and the accompanying arrangement you make will elevate that further! Amid the mixed greens we add in as a base, groupings of lush pinecones, pods, stumps of birch and faux berries will become the main feature. This will be a very accent heavy design, with the fresh evergreens as the accent, not the other way around, as we usually offer. We suggest this arrangement best to sit under a covered porch or awning area (outdoors), therefore snow cover hiding the beautiful accents will not be a worry. This is an OUTDOOR Arrangement and not suited to indoor decor. Photo of completed arrangement to be posted soon. -

This will be an outdoor arrangement we recommend for under a porch or sheltered from extreme weather.

Sunday November 29, 1:00 p.m. Using an elegant 9" round, gloss, low white ceramic container, you will nestle in a beautiful, potted, double spike white orchid. This will be your focal plant that will attract a lot of attention! Then, after adding regular indoor soil mix around the orchid (in it's specialized soil), 5-7 potted seasonal bloomers and foliages will be planted to create a fresh, elegant and long-lasting arrangement. In our workshop you will have lots of choice of high quality potted plants: cyclamen, poinsettia, cypress trees, frosty ferns, norfolk and stone pines, ivy, ferns, kalanchoe, small houseplants and more. Further accents, like moss, pinecones, willow and dogwood will be incorporated for a unique indoor design. Classic and beautiful! -
NEW Project for 2026! $100.00 + HST This is a fun alternative to an evergreen hanging basket! You will create a very unique hanging arrangement with a 14” foldable metal globe (with hanging chain) that will have a apparatus attached to the saucer allowing high quality mixed evergreens to be added, along with colourful natural accents. In the middle of all will be a battery operated RAINLITE candle that performs well (with a timer) in outdoor conditions – great value! This is an OUTDOOR project. We suggest that this arrangement will best hang in a sheltered space, like under a covered porch or awning. With the RAINLIGHT candle it can be exposed to elements, but it's not advised for it to be continually covered in snow, for your best enjoyment. Bonus: with the evergreens removed, this whole unit will look amazing in the Summer too! A better photo to come soon, when all materials are in-stock. -

Saturday March 28, 1:00 p.m. Pantone has named Cloud Dancer as the Color of the Year for 2026. Described as a soft, airy, and billowy white, this shade is intended to offer a "whisper of calm" and a serene, neutral foundation to combat a chaotic world, emphasizing quiet reflection and intentional simplicity. Participants in this workshop will experience the calm in the creation of a beautiful white and green arrangement in a milky white 10” glass planter. A double stem orchid plant will be the feature and surrounding it will be a selection of white blooming accent plants and soft green foliage. A sweet "tweet" white ceramic bird figurine will be nestled amongst the plants, along with decorative moss. Beautiful! Do note that is workshop has been created in the spirit of the Colour of the Year, there will not be any traditionally “colourful” plants included in this workshop, only tones of white and green. This is an elegant planter for indoor decor, perhaps on a kitchen island or dining table. As always, care, advice and education will be discussed as the group works alongside your host, Vikki and the Design Team. -

OUR MOST POPULAR WORKSHOP! Due to overwhelming demand, two new sessions added: Sunday November 15, 3:00 p.m. and Friday November 27, 10:00 a.m. Our super-popular Evergreen Wreath Workshop is back! Join us to make a lovely 16-18" outdoor wreath on a metal frame (which you will not see when we're done). We offer an abundance of fresh evergreen snipets such as boxwood, oregonia (variegated boxwood), pine, various cedars and silver fir along with accents such as pinecones, blueberry cedar and rosehips. Participants will travel along this Evergreen Buffet to gather up "bundles" that our design team will help you "crimp" onto the frame. The result is a sturdy, lush, fragrant deluxe wreath that will last until about March on your door! This is a wreath for outdoor use; it uses the cold moisture in the air to maintain freshness. Positioned between two glass doors is not an adequate location to hang it; it is best fully exposed to the cold. -

Sunday December 14, 1:00 p.m. We introduced this unique rectangular, metal container last year in green (to private sessions only) and this year we offer it in a rusty retro red and gold colour pallet.

This is a workshop where you learn the techniques to create a fresh, different style of outdoor Winter planter: tree-top style. Participants will use a simple black pot (12" diametre) and pop in a 2-3 foot real evergreen tree (cut, not rooted) as the focal point. Then, layers of fresh evergreen boughs are added to the base of the planter to create a "skirt" that is lush and fragrant. To get more of a drape, deluxe greens like Silver Fir and BC Cedar are part of the offering, along with the freshly cut local greens. Natural accents such as dogwood, pinecones and magnolia leaves are offered along with items from our "Accent Buffet" to create your own, unique masterpiece. Note: this planter can be stand-alone or pop inside another, decorative pot (fits standard urns too). In this workshop you will make ONE planter; if you require a second one, our staff can gather up the materials for you to make another at home or why not register a friend to work alongside you? -

NEW SPRING WORKSHOP - YOU CHOOSE YOUR STYLE! Thursday April 02, 6:00 p.m. or Saturday April 04, 10:00 a.m. A classic beige ceramic footed planter is the container in this unique workshop. It is 8" round and 5" tall - perfect for the centre of the Easter table or to give as a beautiful hostess gift. Your choice (upon registration) will be to make your design a planted one featuring potted plants such as calla lilies, ranunculus, ivy, ferns, spring bulbs and more or to make a fresh flower arrangement (in water) with an abundance of cut flower stems such as lisianthus, stocks, spray roses, eucalyptus and more. Your designers will be Vikki for the folks who decide to plant and a certified florist for those who decide to make a fresh arrangement. Both designs will be happening at the same time in each session - it will be fun watching each group be creative! Lots of colour choice for both styles will be offered as well as bonus accents like pussy willows, decorative moss (planted version) and seasonal decor picks. Photos here show inspiration for both projects; plants and cut flowers may be slightly different. Be assured, your arrangements will be beautiful! -
