From Seed to Centerpiece

Begin the journey of seed to centerpiece with a guided visit to the greenhouses and fields of the Market Garden. Meet the dedicated farm staff that tend the flowers from seed selection to harvest and gain insight into the planning and growing of a flower garden.

Then learn the basics of flower arranging with Abby Todia and Amy Raymond, floral designers at the Shelburne Farms Inn. They will share fundamentals, tips and techniques that will help you create an arrangement with flowers grown at the Market Garden. You’ll not only leave with new skills and inspiration, but also a beautiful centerpiece to take home and enjoy.
