Learn Garden Style Floral Design at a Hands-on Workshop

I will be teaching a series of workshops this fall at the Creative Arts Oasis in Waukesha, Wisconsin. If you have always wanted to know more about design concepts, techniques used by professionals, and basic tools for creating your own garden-style floral designs, consider a hands-on workshop. Learn how to use flowers from your garden, farmers’ market or supermarket to create your own amazing arrangements. The fall series includes three workshops: Compote Garden Design, Festive Fall Design and Holiday Design.

For more information and to register, go to The Creative Arts Oasis.

Garden Bouquets – Walk Around Designs

One of my favorite things to do is to walk our property and snip a few flowers from the gardens around my house. Usually this is an evening activity after a long day working in the garden or arranging flowers for an upcoming event. Walking around means designing on the go . . . so the result is usually colorful, loose and informal. In late July, zinnias are the most prolific, but there are also coneflowers, daisies, phlox, and hydrangea to choose from. Soon there will be the stars . . . dahlias!
