DESIGNING WITH THE SEASONS
POPPIN' PEONIES
These rich, strong, and magnificent blooms are the highlight of early summer. Thousands of single and double varieties are cut and sold at the farm, our local farmers market, and used in our floral designs. They are also dry stored in the cooler for later use.
This workshop is focused on how to compose a low and lush compote centerpiece using peonies as the spotlight with accenting flowers and foliage. We will talk about the varieties we grow, growing tips, where to source plants, stages of harvest, post harvest care and vase-life tips, disease control, and our storage procedures.
EARLY-MID JUNE. Cost TBD. REGISTRATION CLOSED.
LATE-SPRING BOUNTY
High spring is when all of our annual and perennial crops explode! Workshop attendees will have a chance to work with a plethora of flowers in unique varieties, colors, and shapes. You will be using seasonal flowers such as snapdragons, sweet peas, lisianthus, foxglove, cosmos, phlox, zinnias, and much more in your floral arrangements!
We will discuss our crop planning, succession planting, and harvest procedures. We will be offering two of these classes so flowers may vary by workshop. Attendees will use these beautiful flowers and foliage to create an overflowing garden inspired arrangement in a beautiful ceramic vase.
LATE JUNE. Cost TBD. REGISTRATION CLOSED.
THE DIRT ON DAHLIAS
Dahlias are the queen of our gardens from August through October. They come in the widest array of shapes, colors and sizes and are sure to mesmerize you with their beauty! We grow over 30 varieties ranging from Dinner Plate to Anemone in our flower fields.
Led by head farmer-florist, Christine Covino, this Dahlia workshop will teach you how to arrange with the different varieties, shapes and textures of these highly sought-after, multi-layered blooms. This workshop will take place during peak dahlia season, and you will learn all about the proper technique for cutting as well as tips on post-harvest procedures, growing techniques, and disease and pest control. There will be time for a Q&A at the end.
Relax in the peaceful surroundings of the flower farm, sip a glass of Hardscrabble, laugh and learn amongst friends and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of arranging your own flowers. Take your floral arrangements home with you to enjoy for the next week!
MID-SEPTEMBER. Cost TBD. REGISTRATION CLOSED.
