Saturday, September 27, 10:00 am – 11:30 am – Hands-On Workshop: Floral Design

Join Lorraine Walsh and Mary Lou Ashur from Artistry Floral at the Gardens at Elm Bank on September 27 for a hands-on floral design workshop focused on the art of the “coffee table arrangement.” If you’ve ever wondered what kind of flowers work best for a low, stylish centerpiece that doesn’t block conversation, this class is for you. Learn how to create a beautiful, eye-catching arrangement that elevates your space while maintaining clear sight lines for seated guests. Perfect for both beginners and flower enthusiasts.

In 2016, Lorraine Walsh and Mary Lou Ashur met as floral associates at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. There, studying fundamentals of floristry and working in teams, they designed and executed a variety of art inspired floral arrangements for certain museum locations as well as the restaurants, special events, and holiday installations. Now in the marketplace, they are committed to producing artistic floral creations, using only the highest quality flowers and plants, from local growers and flower producers around the world.

They are also focused on sustainable floral design and eco-friendly floral purchases from wearables to table arrangements, bouquets, and large installations They are inspired to produce arrangements that are unique and designed to honor their clients’ significant events respecting their individual styles, while sourcing seasonal flowers, and respecting the environment.
