Celebrate the colours of autumn and create something beautiful for your Thanksgiving table at the Fresh Fall Centerpiece Workshop at GrandErie Garden Centre on Thursday, October 8 at 6 p.m.
This hands-on seasonal workshop gives participants the opportunity to design and create their own fresh fall floral centrepiece using a colourful selection of seasonal flowers, lush greenery and rustic birch accents.
Rather than simply picking up a finished arrangement, you’ll get to build your own from start to finish. Participants will arrange their flowers and greenery in a wooden planter, creating a one-of-a-kind centrepiece to take home at the end of the evening.
Step-by-step guidance will be provided throughout the workshop, including simple floral design techniques that can help you create a balanced and attractive arrangement. No previous floral design experience is necessary, making the workshop suitable for complete beginners as well as anyone who already enjoys working with flowers.
The finished arrangement is designed to showcase the warm colours and natural textures associated with the fall season. Fresh flowers provide plenty of colour, while greenery and birch accents add texture and a rustic element to the design.
With Thanksgiving just a few days away, the timing also makes this an opportunity to create your own centrepiece for the holiday weekend. Place it in the middle of your Thanksgiving table, use it to add some seasonal colour to your front entry or incorporate it into your fall décor at home.
It can also make a thoughtful handmade gift if someone else is hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year. Showing up with flowers is always appreciated. Showing up with an arrangement you made yourself earns considerably more bragging rights.
The Fresh Fall Centerpiece Workshop is also a chance to spend an evening getting creative at GrandErie Garden Centre while learning techniques you can use when arranging flowers at home in the future.
The workshop takes place Thursday, October 8 at 6 p.m. at GrandErie Garden Centre. Admission is $60 per participant.
Whether you’re looking for a creative night out, want to learn some basic floral design skills or simply need the perfect finishing touch for your Thanksgiving décor, you’ll leave with a handcrafted arrangement filled with the colours and textures of the season.
Join GrandErie Garden Centre on October 8 and create a fresh fall centrepiece that’s ready to take its place at the Thanksgiving table.
