Flower Arranging Class

Celebrate the beauty of the season with a Flower Arranging Class designed to inspire creativity and connection. Led by a local floral expert, residents will learn the fundamentals of floral design while creating their own custom arrangement using fresh, seasonal blooms. Whether attending with family, friends, or neighbors, this hands-on workshop provides a relaxed and welcoming environment to meet fellow residents, learn a new skill, and take home a beautiful centerpiece to enjoy.

RECOMMENDED FLOWER MIX

A good rule of thumb is 10–15 stems per person total.

Avoid offering too many choices. Four to six flower varieties create plenty of design options without overwhelming participants.

Focal Flowers (30%)

These are the larger flowers that become the centerpiece of arrangements.

Examples: Rose; Gerbera Daisy; Carnation; Sunflower; Hydrangea

Plan for: 3–4 focal stems per resident

Secondary Flowers (40%)

These provide color and volume.

Examples: Alstroemeria; Spray Rose; Chrysanthemum; Stock

Plan for: 4–6 stems per resident

Fillers and Greenery (30%)

These make arrangements look full and professional.

Examples: Baby's Breath; Limonium; Eucalyptus; Ruscus; Leatherleaf Fern

Plan for: 3–5 stems per resident
