About this Event
Pumpkins aren't just for carving. This one is becoming a floral centrepiece.
Join us at Flower Aura by Natasha for Flowers in a Pumpkin, one of our favourite fall traditions—a hands-on floral workshop combining fresh seasonal flowers with a real pumpkin to create a beautiful and completely natural autumn centrepiece.
We'll start with a fresh pumpkin and show you how to prepare it properly for floral design. Then the fun begins.
Using a curated selection of fresh seasonal flowers, foliage and autumn textures, you'll learn how to build a lush arrangement that complements the natural shape and character of your pumpkin.
Each design will be a little different because both the flowers and the pumpkins are real—and that's part of the beauty of it.
What You'll Learn
We'll guide you through:
- Information about mechanics for your arrangement
- Establishing shape and proportion
- Working with focal and supporting flowers
- Adding foliage, texture and seasonal details
- Creating a balanced, professional-looking finished design
- Caring for your flowers and pumpkin at home
No previous floral design experience is necessary. We'll take you through the process step by step while still leaving plenty of room for your own creativity.
Everything Is Included
Your workshop includes:
- A fresh real pumpkin
- A curated selection of seasonal fresh flowers
- Foliage and autumn botanical accents
- All floral mechanics and supplies
- Use of professional floral tools
- Step-by-step instruction from a professional floral designer

Flower varieties, colours and pumpkin shapes may vary depending on seasonal availability. Workshop photographs are examples of the overall style and scale rather than an exact flower recipe.
A Little Note About Real Pumpkins
Part of the charm of this design is that we're working with a real, fresh pumpkin. Like fresh flowers, pumpkins are natural and perishable. Once cut, their lifespan will vary depending on the pumpkin and conditions in your home.
We'll show you how to prepare and care for your design and recommend displaying it on a decorative plate or tray to protect your furniture as the pumpkin naturally ages.
It's a fleeting little piece of autumn—which is exactly what makes it special.
Come on your own, bring a friend, or make it a fall outing together.
Advance registration is required. Spaces are limited.
