Note: This is a BYOF - bring your own flowers - Workshop (see details below)

  • Instruction, as well as floral foam and greenery will be provided.
  • Participants will choose and bring their favorite cut flowers with them, and a pumpkin. 

Here are a few tips to prepare:

  • Bring 2 or 3 bunches of cut flowers, which can be purchased from the supermarket or florist and/or collected from your garden. 
  • Recommended flowers include: mums, grasses, dried materials, any fall-colored blooms. 
  • Bring a pumpkin, approximately 7- to 8-inches in diameter (roughly the size of a pie pumpkin). 
  • Pumpkin should be hollowed out before arriving. Please save the lid, which was cut out and bring it to class, as it may be used in the design (see photo)
  • Place a small plastic liner inside of the pumpkin to contain foam and water (examples may include butter, sour cream, or yogurt containers)
