    Monday, December 6, 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm – Holiday Evergreen Floral Arrangement, Online

    The Garden Club of the Back Bay’s Pop-Up series of floral arranging online continues December 6 from 3 – 4 with Nancy Cyr.

    Nancy will lead a Zoom Holiday Evergreen Floral Arrangement Class.  Participants will focus on creating an arrangement of evergreens as a base using flowers that can be replaced allowing the arrangement to last for the season.  Nancy will present a design scaled for a table and  will explain how you can adapt the design for a larger outdoor installation. If you are arranging during the presentation, you will need to have a container and all the materials, including a mechanic for holding the evergreens and flowers. Nancy will show us how we can use chicken wire or a bendable branch to make our mechanic.

    An email will be sent within two days of our receiving your RSVP. It will include the Zoom link and detailed information about the materials.
