Gather around the table and celebrate the beauty of the harvest season during this festive two-hour workshoppe. Inspired by the timeless tradition of the Thanksgiving cornucopia, guests will create a stunning, one-of-a-kind tablescape overflowing with the colors and textures of autumn. Using a thoughtfully curated collection of Rose Farm dried florals, fresh seasonal blooms, heirloom pumpkins, gourds, fruit, foliage, and other natural accents, you'll design a centerpiece worthy of your Thanksgiving table. Along the way, our educator will demonstrate professional design techniques while sharing tips for layering textures, balancing color, and creating a table that feels both abundant and effortlessly elegant. Whether you're hosting Thanksgiving dinner or simply love decorating for the season, you'll leave with a handcrafted cornucopia tablescape ready to become the centerpiece of your holiday celebrations. All materials are provided, and a complimentary beverage will be served. Image 897 photo credit: A Passion for Flowers: Cornucopia: A Symbol of the Harvest
