The first meeting of The Garden Club of the Back Bay’s 2020/2021 program year will be a virtual flower arranging workshop on Wednesday, September 23 from 4 – 6 pm. Join Garden Club members for a late afternoon session led by GCBB member, Nancy Cyr. Nancy is a Senior Flower Associate at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. She studied flower design with a number of teachers including Francoise Weeks. She believes that flower arranging is for everyone and that, while it is fun to have access to special and unusual flowers, you can achieve beautiful effects with flowers from the grocery store and weeds picked on your walks. At the end of the workshop, Nancy will take questions from participants.
There will be a $40 fee for flowers and vase. To pay your $40.00 fee through the Garden Club’s website, click here: http://www.gardenclubbackbay.org/shop/
