In our June class we will be working with a lovely mix of mid to late spring flowers! Expect to see favorites like peonies, mini sunflowers, daisies, stock, snapdragons and more. July's class will feature a beautiful arrangement using the season's most abundant summer flowers! You can anticipate using asters, strawflowers, zinnias, snapdragons, bee balm, scabiosa and much more. This session will focus on creating a whimsical, carefree design with a more natural feel. August is such a fun month! We get to enjoy the best of both worlds - lush summer flowers and the first blooms of fall. This class will feature plenty of dahlias, along with zinnia, hydrangeas, sunflowers, scabiosa and more.
