You will hone your artistic talents, and will be encouraged to listen to your intuition and further your own vision. Classes are limited to six students to ensure valuable individual attention.
Workshops will take place at Limelight Floral Design at 519 Adams St. Hoboken NJ. Materials, clippers and gloves will be provided and are a gift to take with you. Ginger flowers, Anthurium, Birds of Paradise, palm leaves, orchids and other exotic flowers will be provided.
My friend Eve recently said that autumn always makes her think of spring. I couldn’t agree with her more, and as I squirrel away hoards of daffodil, tulip, and hyacinth bulbs, my mind drifts to the scents, sights and sounds of late April and May. Winter is a long season here in the northeast, and come late February and March —when the grey days outnumber the blue— I know I’ll be longing for soft, damp earth on my fingertips and the fragrance of fresh flowers. So while planting spring-flowering bulbs outside in the garden, I always pot up a few dozen favorites —and begin chilling them early— for forcing indoors.
