Bouquet Making for the Bereaved

For centuries, the language of flowers has been an expression of often unspeakable grief. And modern studies have shown that working with plants can have therapeutic effects that promote emotional wellbeing. Join us as we learn the basic principles of arranging a bouquet while exploring the role flowers and plants have played in healing, grieving, and memorialization. While we can’t guarantee your bouquet may not turn out perfectly, we’ll provide you with the tools to navigate your grief as well as the materials to create something that aids in your healing process.

All workshop materials will be provided and are sourced from our friends at Shannon Florist and the grounds of Green-Wood. Proceeds of ticket sales go directly toward material costs.

Please note that if only 1 ticket shows as available during the purchase process that is the last ticket available.
