Lilies are also sometimes referred to as jewels in our northern gardens, providing a pop of brilliant color.

Learn how to make a show-stopping fall centerpiece in this advanced design workshop! Start with a beautiful tray, add low candles and then layer on gourds, Indian corn, moss, pods, berries, grains and fresh flowers to construct a modern fall "landscape." This large display will be perfect for your coffee or dining table. Advanced techniques taught for this class include "parallelism," how to properly mix a number of different textures, and how to construct an architectural floral arrangement using both fresh and dried elements.
Take your floral design skills to the next level with our advanced floral design class!
