Wednesday, April 12th, 7 pm FLORAL DESIGN EXTRAVAGANZA for HWGC members only Miles River Middle School, 787 Bay Road, Hamilton Please register via Eventbrite to attend this event. Vaccinations highly recommended, Masks and Social Distancing Optional We’re excited to offer this workshop featuring our Club’s own fabulous judges! Whether you are a Novice, Intermediate, or Experienced designer, this workshop is for you! The judges will lead workshops at each level. Stay tuned for any materials you will need to supply. The judges have found containers (cute small baskets). You are asked to purchase 2 bunches of flowers (see list of places to get flowers below). Filler greens will also be provided. You are asked to bring clippers and gloves. You may also want to bring a small box (perhaps with bubblewrap) in which to transport your design home.
The workshop will begin with a brief talk on mechanics and some dos and don’ts to make your arrangement the best it can be. Information sheets on the principles of design will be handed out. If you have any questions about the size of the blossoms of the flowers and/or kinds of flowers, please reach out to LuBeth Kuemmerle, Joanne Kennett, Nancy Donaldson, or Joan Mason. Scale is important. If you would prefer to come and observe at no charge, please feel welcome to do so. Places to get flowers: Trader Joe’s (the pick of the judges), Shaw’s, Market Basket, Stop & Shop, Gordons (Ipswich), Whole Foods ($$$), or Crosby’s ($$$). The judges have put a lot of time into planning this workshop, so we hope you will thank them with your participation.
