It is magic time in the garden with breathtaking peonies making their spring debut. We will create, with inspiration from our floral superstar, Constant Holley MacRae, a natural floral design style lush and romantic in composition. Glorious shades of pink peonies, royal queen Ann’s Lace and soft ranunculus will tumble over the sides of a glass container lined with heirloom ferns. Discussion for long-lasting and vibrant floral arrangements without chemicals or oasis will be explored.
