Meet at the Folk School, then take a short hike to the Trezona Trail to identify and collect invasive plants that harm native botanicals but are beautiful in flower arrangements! A small class size will allow for demonstrations and personalized help as students learn to create a flower arrangement in their hands.
Arrangements will be tied and finished--suitable for a bride or bridesmaid's bouquet or left loose to stand in a vase.

We recommend wearing long sleeves and pants and wearing closed toed shoes to make harvesting as comfortable as possible. Students may also bring a notebook and writing utensil for note taking, a water bottle for hydration, and a positive attitude for learning!
Students are encouraged (but not required) to bring flowers, grasses and interesting weeds from their own gardens and yards. Keep the stems as long as possible and bring them in 5 gallon pails or mop buckets.
This class is recommended to students aged 16 and up. If you have a child younger than 16 who is interested in participating in the class, please reach out to the Ely Folk School before registering.
