Farmer’s Market Florals

Join us for a unique floral arranging experience that celebrates the beauty of the harvest season! In this hands-on class, participants will create a one-of-a-kind country style arrangement featuring a mix of fresh flowers and seasonal vegetables inspired by the abundance of the harvest season. We’ll explore creative techniques for combining unexpected textures, colors, and natural elements into a beautiful centerpiece.

The class will take place outdoors on the lawn alongside the Franklin Park Conservatory Farmers’ Market, weather permitting. No prior floral design experience is needed; just bring your creativity and enjoy the art of arranging with nature’s bounty! And don’t forget to stop by the Farmer’s Market and support local growers before class!

Please note: The class sample photos below are a sample of the style; specific flower types will vary for the class.
