Floral Design Workshops

Our hands-on floral design workshops are both fun and informative, offering a creative escape for all experience levels. Whether you attend on your own, with a friend, or as part of a group, we promise an engaging, memorable experience rooted in creativity and connection.

We believe deeply in floral education—from proper care and handling to understanding the elements and principles of floral design. Each workshop is designed to build confidence while encouraging personal expression, using seasonal flowers selected to complement the class focus.

Workshops run 60 minutes and include all materials needed to create a beautiful floral design to take home. Cancellations are fully refundable up to 48 hours in advance. If you’re unable to attend after that window, a workshop kit or completed design will be available for pickup.

We also offer off-site and private workshops, ideal for bridal showers, birthday parties, corporate team-building events, Girl and Boy Scout troop education, or a ladies’ night out. From vase arrangements and stylized compositions to holiday centerpieces, flower crowns, and more, class themes change with the seasons and highlight the best materials available.

Eileen is a proud member of Professional Floral Communicators – International and looks forward to sharing her passion for flowers through thoughtful instruction, beautiful materials, and an inspiring workshop experience.
