Celebrate the color and abundance of the season while learning to create a fresh
flower garland by hand. Using vibrant marigolds and soft-toned carnations, you’ll
create a blooming strand to drape across a table, mantel, doorway, altar, or any special
space for a fall gathering.
ABOUT THE SERIES
Becoming a Florist is a rotating workshop series built around the wide range of floral
designs professional florists create for weddings, events, retail, and everyday work.
Each month focuses on a different core floral form—giving participants the opportunity
to build real-world design experience across styles, scales, and applications.
Throughout the series, you’ll learn professional florist approaches to mechanics,
structure, flower care, and design decision-making, along with practical considerations
like handling, transport, and longevity. This series is designed to support both
arranging hobbyists and working florists looking to expand their technical skills and
confidence.
Please note: Workshops can be taken as stand-alone classes or as part of a year-long
progression through foundational and advanced floral forms.
THIS MONTH’S FOCUS: FALL FLOWER GARLAND
In this workshop, we’ll focus on constructing a fresh flower garland using marigold and
carnation blooms. Instruction will cover preparing and handling the flowers, safely
threading each bloom, developing color and pattern, and securely finishing the garland.
Each participant will receive enough flowers and materials to create eight total feet of
blooming garland. You may make one continuous 8-foot garland or divide your
materials between two garlands in lengths of your choosing—such as one 3-foot and
one 5-foot garland.
WHO THIS CLASS IS FOR
No prior professional experience is required to participate. This workshop is
appropriate for all skill levels, and no portfolio or proof of previous classes is needed.
Whether you’re exploring floristry as a creative practice, interested in handmade
seasonal traditions, or actively working with flowers, this class offers hands-on
experience with a versatile floral-design technique.
