Friday March 13, 1:00 p.m. Bring a friend or student who is off on this Friday PD Day to our fun workshop where two projects are made. This workshop is appropriate for anyone 5-99 years old! Only you? No problem, you can do both projects and we can help if you require assistance. In the theme of Spring participants will fill these two tin planters (one is a watering can, the other an oval) with a selection of pre-sprouted bulbs such as tulips, daffodils or hyacinths, small ferns and houseplants along with accents of pussy willows and moss. These planters are for indoor decor now, but could be redesigned for outdoor use once the weather warms up.

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. -
NEW! We sourced a 9” tall classic metal table top urn with a white vintage patina and thought how pretty it would be with mixed evergreens and natural accents. A new workshop idea was born! In this workshop we will offer an option of adding a simple white taper candle or a decorative element as the focal point and then build around it with fresh, fragrant evergreens such as white pine, BC Cedar, boxwood and aborvitea. An array of accents will be offered so each arrangement is unique to your style. With good watering, this fresh evergreen arrangement will last well into the new year. A full photo of the project will be posted once all materials arrive. -
