Description

Nothing beats the charm of locally grown summer flowers! In this workshop, we’ll start the morning at the Santa Monica Farmer's Market and you’ll learn how to choose the freshest blooms of the season.

Then we’ll drive to Viola Floral, just a few minutes away, and arrange a mix of just-picked market blooms into a wild and whimsical bouquet. It's a celebration of the season’s best, full of color, texture, and that straight-from-the-field magic. Cost of flowers is included.
