Explorations classes will have a rotating theme, such as wild-foraged arrangements, working with unconventional materials, or colour theory in floral design. Students will be notified in advance of each session’s focus. Though it's not necessary to take a Foundations Course first, it could be helpful!

  • An exploration of the week’s theme, with a demonstration and in-depth discussion around design concepts.

  • Harvest your own materials—let the garden guide your inspiration.

  • Take home your arrangement in a simple glass vase or jar, or bring a favourite vessel from home.

  • Use of our floral tools and supplies.

Materials

Each session draws from the shifting abundance of the season:

June: A first taste of summer—cosmos, calendula, forget-me-nots, stock, and the drama of peonies and early dahlias.

  • July: The garden at full tilt—lush, rolling blooms in peak abundance. Delicate stems of foxglove, cosmos, and poppies bloom beside explosions of dahlias, sunflowers, and zinnias.

  • August: Harvest season—saturated colours, fruiting tomato vines, blackberry branches, and a riot of dahlias, snapdragons, zinnias, celosia.

  • September: A golden finale—deep-hued dahlias, rudbeckia, sunflowers, seedpods, grasses, and lavender anemones.

Skill level

Whether you’re new to arranging or looking to deepen your craft, this workshop is for all skill levels.

  • Use of our floral tools and supplies.

Materials

Each session draws from the shifting abundance of the season:

  • June: A first taste of summer—cosmos, calendula, forget-me-nots, stock, and the drama of peonies and early dahlias.

  • July: The garden at full tilt—lush, rolling blooms in peak abundance. Delicate stems of foxglove, cosmos, and poppies bloom beside explosions of dahlias, sunflowers, and zinnias.

  • August: Harvest season—saturated colours, fruiting tomato vines, blackberry branches, and a riot of dahlias, snapdragons, zinnias, celosia.

  • September: A golden finale—deep-hued dahlias, rudbeckia, sunflowers, seedpods, grasses, and lavender anemones.
