  • Tuesday, December 14, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm – Creating a Holiday Floral Centerpiece Workshop

    Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum are not too far to drive from the Greater Boston Area.

    Take some time to enjoy a workshop with Blakely Szosz who has a decidedly informal approach to formal design. We will create a stunning and long-lasting floral centerpiece to dress up your seasonal decor.

    We are excited to note that designs will be assembled without single-use floral foam. Multiple techniques and tricks will be discussed and shared so that participants can practice eco-friendly design at home all year long. The workshop will take place on December 14 from 6 – 8 at Blithewold, 101 Ferry Road in Bristol, Rhode Island, and is $55 for Blithewold members, $65 for nonmembers plus fee.

  • Sunday, December 16, 1:00 pm – Festive Flowers at FoMu

    Purchased tickets but something came up? You can transfer your ticket to another class as long as you contact us at least 48 hours before the event. Please note we do not offer refunds per our refund policy. The flower arranging can take anywhere from one to two hours, depending on the complexity and format of the arrangement. Alice’s Table provides aprons for you to wear for the duration of the event. Working with flowers can be messy, so make sure to wear something you won’t mind getting a little dirty. You don’t need to bring anything out of the ordinary with you – we provide the flowers, vases, and tools you will need to create your arrangement.

    A little information from FoMu: There are a lot of food trends and buzz words out there these days. Sure… we can say that we are “small batch,” “local,” and use nothing but the “best ingredients.” We could also talk about our commitment to sustainability, community, and food awareness. We wouldn’t be lying. But what makes [FoMu] Ice Cream really different? Peace of mind has always been our priority. From the ingredients we source, to the disposables that we use, we always try to make decisions that instill pride in everyone at FoMu; It is that same peace of mind that we hope to pass along to our fans.

    $68 per person. Register at https://alicestable.com/events/festive-flowers-at-fomu
