The fragrant flowers of June will be on offer for this class, filling the classroom with their scent. We will learn about and design with locally grown roses, peonies, mock orange and other super stars of early summer. The power of scent will be discussed and experienced as an element of botanical design. Early summer flowers have some of the most delicious scents and we will design with those as well as flowering herbs and summer foliage … This will be a sensory feast.

Hannah Morgan will demonstrate the fundamentals of the Fortunate Orchard design style and discuss sustainability, sourcing and caring for cut flowers and foliage. After Hannah’s demo students will dive in, creating their own floral centerpiece in an 8” footed bowl. The finished arrangement will be perfect for a dining table or mantel, and you will have the knowledge to design with flowers throughout the seasons.

Class will be held indoors at the Rainier Beach Urban Farm & Wetlands, and space is limited to 10 students. Delicious snacks will be served, to fuel the body as we dig deep into creativity, finding inspiration in nature.
