Wright-Locke Farm’s Flower Team is hosting flower arranging classes at the farm in Winchester this season. Two dates are scheduled – August 12 from 6 – 7:30, and September 23 from 5:30 – 7.

Our flower team grows our flowers from seed starting in early spring, plants them as seedlings in the field in the late spring and harvests them in the summer and fall for our flower CSA, farmers market arrangements, special events and dried arts and crafts. We’d love to show you how to arrange the Wright-Locke Farm way. We also forage from the farm so arrangements are always different, like snowflakes, each one unique.

We will start the class with a tour of the flower shed and flower field and the participants will have a hands on experience making one quart sized mason jar arrangement to take home. Bring your own scissors/clippers, a box to transport arrangements home in the car and a water bottle. Please dress appropriately for being at the farm (sunscreen, bug spray, hat, comfortable clothing, and closed toe shoes).

Tuesday Aug. 12th, 6-7:30 pm – will be set up outside near squash house (in flower shed if weather not agreeable). Flowers in season: Joe eye weed, verbena, salvia, yarrow, amaranth, cosmos, statice, euphorbia, asters, celosia, ammi, zinnias, strawflower, scabiosa and more.
