FROM COLONIAL AMERICA
TO TODAY

In the 250th year since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, instructor David Pippin focuses on Early American/Colonial style floral design. Spotlighting locally grown flowers, participants will create garden-style arrangements with eco-friendly alternatives to floral foam. Bring your own pitcher or crock and work with David to create a foliage grid embellished with gorgeous flowers for a unique, stunning, and sustainable design.
