Blooming Into Spring Sustainable Floral Design Workshop - March 22nd

Welcome spring with creativity. This hands-on floral design workshop is the perfect seasonal experience for anyone who loves beautiful things — no experience necessary.

In this immersive floral arranging workshop, you'll learn how to build a lush, garden-style arrangement from scratch using chicken wire, a timeless and sustainable floral mechanic that lets your blooms breathe and move naturally. Whether you're a seasoned flower lover or picking up stems for the very first time, you'll walk away with a stunning spring arrangement — and the skills to make another one at home.

But it's more than just florals. Working with flowers is a proven mood-booster — research shows that hands-on floral design measurably reduces stress and anxiety, making this one of the most restorative things to do this spring in the D.C. area. Think of it as therapy, but make it blooms.

Limited spots available — this is one of the most unique and feel-good spring activities in the area.
