Sign up for workshops!

K1 and K2 will be exciting again this year. Betsy and I invite the entire membership to participate in these workshops. Some of you may want to revisit either K1/K2. We encourage you to do so. Covering this year in K1 the Oval, the Asymmetrical, the Upright Circular, the Hogarth Curve. It is always rewarding to review the basics in traditional floral arranging. In K2 the Parallel, the Underwater, the Multi-Rhythmic and the Table. Again, we can always find a new prospective.
You need not sign on for the entire course in either K1 or K2, rather mix and match your interests or your missed workshops.
This year, it appears at this juncture, that both workshops will be held Wednesday, noon in the Carriage House.
We are planning to begin in September, kicking off a K1 after Labor Day.
Workshop dates are located in the left hand column of the webite.

Let's not forget the Fresh Cup of garden flowers/horticulture to bring along to our first meeting in October. Please remember to identify your plant material. These will be used as the centerpiece for the tea table. It is such fun to see specimens from other member's gardens and/or to practice putting together a small casual arrangement.

Enjoy this wonderful time of year. I will be fighting the moles, voles and chipmunks (who ever thought they were cute?) with a vengeance, so that I will have something to put in my Fresh Cup come October!!
