Wednesday, April 24th, 7pm FLORAL DESIGN WORKSHOP 2nd EDITION for HWGC members only Wenham Museum Please register via Eventbrite – (eventbrite) to attend this event. Back by popular demand! This year the judges, led by our very own Pat Fleming, will offer a workshop similar to last year – with a twist. Whether you’re a Novice, Intermediate, or Experienced designer, this workshop will be fun for you. Attendees are asked to bring a 6” round, 6” to 8” tall container (no glass, please) and 2 bunches of flowers (see the list of places to get flowers below). Filler greens and mechanics for the containers will be provided. There is an $8 charge to participate. Please bring clippers, a jug for water, a cloth for wiping up spills, and a paper bag (for debris). Attendees may also want to consider bringing a small box (with tissue paper or bubble wrap) to transport designs home. Now for the twist. After a demonstration by Pat on how to make the design, each member will swap their container and flowers with another member. At the end, each member will take home their own container and flowers with a design made by someone else. There will be experienced designers circulating around Burnham Hall to assist. Watch for an Eventbrite invitation to sign up. This promises to be a very fun evening! Please know if you prefer to participate simply through attendance and observation, we welcome you to do so! Scale is important! If you have questions about the size of flower blossoms, kinds of flowers (eg. Daffodils), please reach out to Pat. Places to purchase flowers: Trader Joe’s (the pick of the judges), Shaw’s, Market Basket, Gordons (Ipswich), Whole Foods ($$$), or Crosby’s ($$$). Monthly Meeting Horticultural Competition (only) is open to all club members. for details > Hospitality Servers Michelle Granese – Coordinator Kelly Spurr, Nancy Cannon, and Gail Murray Rosenfeld Wednesday, May 15th, 7pm ANNUAL MEETING THE EDIBLE SALAD GARDEN – LIZ BARBOUR'S CREATIVE FEAST for HWGC members / Open to the Public, $10 donation suggested Miles River Middle School, 787 Bay Road, Hamilton Members & guests, please register via Eventbrite to attend this event.
