  • Tuesdays, October 6, 13, 20 & 27, 6:30 – 8:30 pm – Flower Design with Al DeLuca

    Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston, Massachusetts is sponsoring a series of floral design workshops with Al DeLuca, A.I.F.D., A.A.F., Flor-Al’s Inc.

    On October 6, enjoy Designing with Fruits and Vegetables.  Fruits and vegetables add exciting color, texture and focal interest to a floral design.  Learn how to select produce, condition it, and place it in an arrangement for long lasting pleasure.

    October 13 brings a session entitled Autumn Arrangement.  Incorporating the bounty of color in New England, participants will create a beautiful arrangement utilizing the richly hued floral product available during the autumn season.

    The next workshop, Trans-seasonal Arrangement, takes place on October 27. This class is designed to help you make an arrangement that will be appropriate for Thanksgiving and can be transitioned into Christmas.  The arrangement will include both fresh and permanent materials.

    Each session costs $55 for Tower Hill members, $60 for non-members.  You may register on-line at www.towerhillbg.org.
