9:00 AM to 12:00 PM

This workshop begins with a fun little field trip to a nearby flower field in Metchosin where you can pick your own flowers during the peak of the blooming season, then come back to the Arts Centre to learn how to put together a hand-tied bouquet in the European style!

Throughout the workshop, you will pickup a few tricks of the trade such as the types of flowers & greenery to buy, how to process the flowers, and the most visually pleasing way to arrange the blooms to create a lovely round bouquet to take home or give away as a gift.
