Beginners – The perfect day to gain confidence when arranging simple flowers for your home. Margaret will advise you about choosing plant material, give great hints regarding mechanics and practical tips when it comes to arranging flowers in foam.  Also enjoy making an informal hand tie of flowers and how to display your flowers in simple containers.
Take home a table centre piece and a small hand tie. 

Table Designs – Dining tables and coffee tables, and the rest!  Margaret will inspire you to make simple table arrangements using a foam posy pad. Then, in contrast make your own container and fill it with seasonal flowers and foliage, to create an informal blousy style. Take home two table designs .

Christmas – Come and enjoy the festive season and make your very own door garland using a foam or moss ring, using fresh foliage to give a natural look, then decorate it with fruits, cones, etc.     Then Margaret will show you how to create a fresh horizontal arrangement and how to display it at home using a variety of containers.
Take home a Door Garland and a low Christmas Design. 

Pot Luck – A chance to master that tricky container that you have always wanted to use and never had the courage!  Bring along your own flowers and container.  Then make a hedgerow heart garland and decorate it with fresh ivy and a variety of fruits and berries, it would be suitable for hanging on a door or wall.

Forever Topiary - Topiary trees are unique and stunning designs and take up very little table space within the home. Using dried and faux material you will be able to make a round topiary tree – please bring your own tree (Margaret will give you advice beforehand). Then we will make a fun wall hanging, to be used in the kitchen, bathroom, downstairs loo etc.... Bring along any bits and pieces you may wish to include.
Take home your Topiary Tree and piece of Floral Wall Art.  

Flowers are Fun - Enjoy a special flower day. An ideal opportunity to get your friends together and enjoy a special flower day of your own choice.
