Seasonal Workshops

NEW SPRING WORKSHOP with an EASTER THEME

Wednesday, April 16, 6:00 p.m. or Saturday, April 19, 10:00 a.m.

$80.00 + HST

A gorgeous gold and sage green metal hoop handle planter is the container in this hybrid workshop.  We'll be planting houseplants and designing with fresh cut flowers - the best of both worlds!  The unit is 12" oblong and perfect as an indoor table arrangement that will be a showpiece on your Easter table as a centrepiece.

Each participant will choose five foliage plants from a selection including fluffy ferns, textured peperomia, syngonium, ivy and more.  An abundance of choices will ensure yours will be one-of-a-kind!  Once planted, we will choose fresh cut flowers (ranunculus, anthurium, lisianthus) and put stems into water picks to slide amongst the potted plants - they will last weeks, and then after removed, the green plants will live on!   Mosses, sticks, pussy willows and Easter-themed accents will be offered to complete this gorgeous planter.

As always, care, advice and education will be discussed as the group works alongside your host, Vikki and the Design Team.

A photo of the completed product will be posted soon - we're waiting on the plants to arrive!

NEW SPRING WORKSHOP for EASTER DECOR!

Friday, April 18, 11:00 a.m. - Good Friday Holiday

$60.00 + HST

Let’s make a fresh potted table arrangement for Easter!  Using an 8" square wooden box with a metal handle, we’ll plant a collection of approximately seven Spring bloomers and/or fresh green houseplants.  Choices will include:  sprouted Spring bulbs (tulips, mini daffodils, hyacinth, muscari), primula, ranunculus, pansies, ferns, ivy, and polka-dots.  An option to add a mini orchid will be offered (an add-on, payable at the workshop, if you decide to add it).

Decorative moss, décor picks, a bow for the handle, Easter eggs, and pussy willows will complete your project.  Choice of colours and plants will ensure your creation is very unique - unique to you!

As always, care, advice, and education will be discussed as the group works alongside your host, Vikki, and the Design Team.

A picture of the completed project is coming soon - we're waiting on the arrival of the containers.

NEW SPRING WORKSHOP:  Let's Celebrate Earth Day Together!

 Tuesday, April 22, 1:00 p.m.

$15.00 + HST

In this Bring Your Own Container Workshop (BYOC) participants bring a container to fill with beautiful Spring plants.  Please bring a container (empty and clean) no larger than 16" round or 36" long (window box style).  If you don't have a suitable container, come early to the workshop and pick one out (additional fee for it will be required, of course).

Plant choices will be numerous and well chosen:  this is not a time to be planting tender plants and ALL plant choices will be cold weather tolerant.    Expect choices of pansies, bulbs, primula, ranunculus, ivy, petunia, alyssum/lobularia, verbena and nemesia.  Some perennial choices may be offered too. Caution will be required in the early days and this arrangement will need to come in on nights when the temperature is below zero.

The base fee of $15.00 covers your instruction plus high quality potting soil to fill your empty pot and moss to provide a "decorator touch".  At the end of the workshop we will add up the cost of the plants you used and that fee is payable at the end of the workshop.  All costs will be clearly outlined and we will help work with any budget.

This will be an outdoor workshop so please dress in layers, in accordance to the weather.  If the weather is poor, participants will be contacted and a rescheduled date will be offered.

As always, care, advice, and education will be discussed as the group works alongside your host, Vikki and the Design Team.
