Welcome to The Art of Floral Styling—a hands-on, garden-to-vase experience designed to spark creativity and celebrate the beauty of the season. Slip on an apron, grab your garden shears, and join us among the flowers to kick off this two-hour workshoppe. We’ll start with a guided tour of the farm, where you’ll learn about the flowers, herbs, and greenery flourishing in our gardens right now. Then comes the fun part: harvesting your favorite stems. Once your bucket is full, we’ll head into The Shoppe for a relaxed styling and design lesson. With expert guidance, guests will craft a stunning arrangement in a Rose Farm vessel—learning fresh techniques, creative tricks, and the artful touches that bring floral styling to life. Whether you love filling your home with flowers, enjoy hosting beautiful gatherings, or simply want to elevate your design skills, this workshoppe is made for you. All skill levels are welcome, and a complimentary beverage is included.
