Creating your Thanksgiving Centerpiece

Create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind floral centerpiece to take home and enjoy for Thanksgiving. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn to transform flowers, foliage, and greenery from your backyard into a lovely holiday arrangement.

No floral arranging experience is necessary. Just bring your creativity!

We'll provide all materials, and you'll take home your finished centerpiece.
