As summer begins in earnest, we witness an abundance of new flowers and foliage emerging in the landscape. In this June 19 Berkshire Botanical online class with Colie Collen of Flower Scout, you’ll learn how to cut, arrange and keep a long-lasting arrangement in your home, using plants and flowers you can find in the fields, woodland edges and garden. Arrange alongside Colie as she describes her principles of floral design and lists some of her favorite cut flowers to grow in your own garden.
Colie Collen, founder, farmer, and designer at Flower Scout, brings her love of all things wild and seasonal to her work. After many years of farming on the West and East Coasts, her interest turned to flower production in 2012, and subsequently to design. She seeks to create individual experiences for clients, based on the colors, textures and shapes the land/garden/season is creating at this particular moment, with customers’ aesthetic preferences continually in mind.
The class begins at 5:30 pm Eastern time. BBG members $15, nonmembers $20. Register at https://www.berkshirebotanical.org/events/early-summer-florals-flower-scout
