Advanced Floral Design Workshop

You know those large arrangements that look like they were plucked straight out of Anne of Green Gables' garden? Well, there's actually quite a bit of technique involved to make those bountiful blooms look so effortless. Take your floral design skills to the next level with our advance floral design class! This challenging arrangement is much larger and uses more expensive flowers than our typical design workshop, so you'll definitely get your money's worth. Plus, you'll learn it all from our award-winning Bachman's floral designer Diane Enge, who's worth her price in peonies!
