On Saturday, August 27, beginning at 10:30 am, fill a graceful glass vase with an abundant, naturalistic bouquet of lovely, freshly harvested, and locally sourced Slow Flowers. Slow Flowers are local, sustainably-grown flowers that are pollinator friendly and enjoyed in season. Gathered from the garden and the wayside or purchased at a near-by farm stand, Slow Flowers bring long-lasting natural beauty and delicate fragrance into your home. Learn when and how to cut garden and wayside flowers for arranging, which nectar rich herbal flowers add color and fragrance to seasonal bouquets and how to condition freshly picked stems for lasting beauty. Then, create your own personal, gardenesque bouquet to take home with you!

Flowers, greens, mechanics and container are supplied by the instructor Betsy Williams. Class handouts include a list of garden and wild flowers that provide the most nourishment to pollinators. $60 for Tower Hill members, $75 for nonmembers. Register online at www.towerhillbg.org.
