Make a bodacious, fragrant peony centerpiece at New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill on June 8 from 1 – 3 with instructor Mary Beth Hayes. We’ll use locally-grown peonies and unique foliage and textural elements. Prepare to be wowed with peony beauty! Please bring your own clippers, and all other supplies provided.
Mary Beth is an avid gardener and floral designer who began studying floral design so she could bring the beauty of the garden into her home. She’s taken classes with the Mass Horticultural Society and Cass School of Floral Design in Watertown. She has studied with noted floral designers Francoise Weeks, Holly Chapple, and Hitomi Gilliam. Mary Beth loves to share the techniques she has learned with others so we can all “play with flowers” and create beautiful, natural flower arrangements and more.

Faith Crawford, photographer and designer of this web site, posted some peony pictures on her own website, www.faithcrawford.com, which are quite luscious, and we think you will enjoy them. A sample is shown below.
