Fill out the form below and I will reach out to you to share how this offering will work.

At My Studio Classes - The next gathering at my studio will be focusing on DYI wedding flowers. This gathering is for those who are planning to do their own flowers or help a friend/family member with theirs. We will cover all your wedding flower questions, give hands on guidance and ideas for all subject matters from wearables, bouquets, centerpieces, arch flowers and more. We will create a table centerpiece you get to take home too. Date April 27th the cost will be $50 a person, 2-3 hour class depending on how many topics you desire to be covered.

Classes at Tall Grass Farms - This year I will be hosting a couple different classes in the dahlia fields at Tall Grass Farms. If you’ve visited them in the past during August you’ve seen the spectacular field of flowers. It’s going to be really a fun experience this year, On August 9th at 6:30 we will gather in the field of dahlias to design a beautiful arrangement for you to take home. Farmer Nicki will share all the insights about growing, harvesting and storing dahlias and tips and tricks they use to be successful dahlia growers. We will talk about the design we are going to make and then you will walk the fields to select and cut your own dahlias to design with. We will gather back together to put together our masterpieces. If we have time we’ll make a little floral crown of dahlias to wear for the photos with your flowers in that golden hour and I’m sure it’s to be a night to remember. $75 If you can’t make it on the 9th and want to join us on the 20th during the day I will be repeating this class with a group from the Rec. Center’s and you’re welcome to join them at the center and come on the bus or drive out yourself. Just let me know what works best for you.

Then on the 24th of August at 10am I’m going to do a fabulous flower crown class in the dahlia fields. For this one I ask you to bring a garden hat, it can be your own or one from the dollar store. We are going to create some really fun wearables and one of the projects will require the hat. We will be using some dahlias but other flowers as well. You will also be able to purchase and pick dahlia bouquets to take home with you. $75

Farm Tours in 2024 - I’m excited to be partnering with both the Medical Lake and Airway Heights Rec Centers to offer you a few wonderful farm tours. Tours will start the first of May and run through Mid-August. The May tours are only offered through the Medical Lake Rec. Program. July and August tours will be offered by both programs. These tours will include farms with flowers, produce, and even one or two visits with animals, guardian puppies, and honey bees too. These tours are for adults who want to learn more from our local farms who provide produce, flowers, eggs and meat to our local restaurants and community. Maybe you want to start or expand your own vegetable or flower garden or add to your homestead and want to learn about what it takes to raise chickens or the benefits to having ducks in your garden, milking goats or keeping bees. Farms will share their practices, what and how they grow what they grow. These are working farms, and you need to come prepared to walk in fields with rough, uneven ground. At farms you’ll learn about seedlings, plant starts, bulb planting, irrigation, weed barriers, guardian dogs/puppies and more. Nurseries will be fun for not only browsing and being inspired, but for the serious shoppers too! Yes, you can plan to get some of your garden shopping done while having fun this spring/summer. Later in July and August when things are really blooming and growing, we will visit other farms and learn about harvesting, crop rotation, more planting and planning and possibly picking from a you pick flower garden as well as a trip to pick blueberries. This time we are visiting 2-3 different farms and or nurseries on each date with more time spent at each one and we will again provide sub sandwich’s for lunches. See the dates listed up above.
