Vase Arranging for Floral Stems

10 a.m. – 12 noon
Cheryl Wilks - Floral Educator and Owner of “Flowers on Location”

Cut flowers may be a wonderful bounty from our gardens or even from the grocery store, but what do you do with them when you bring them indoors? This class will show you the many tricks of the trade to arrange flowers so that they will look their very best. You will learn techniques such as gridding and stuffing, and florist gel will be demonstrated. The elements of design will be covered in depth.

Cheryl Wilks has been a guest lecturer at the Philadelphia Flower Show since 1990, so she really knows her stuff! Please bring a box to take home your creation. All materials are provided by the instructor. Other sections are available in April and June
