About this Event

Floral design is more than creating a beautiful arrangement. Working with flowers and plants can support our physical, mental, and emotional well-being! Therapeutic horticulture uses plants and hands-on activities to encourage:

  • Relaxation & Stress Relief
  • Focus & Mental Engagement
  • Movement & Hands-on Activity
  • Social Connection
  • Creativity & Self-expression

Enjoy a relaxing, hands-on experience with flowers while supporting wellness, recovery, and connection. With 4 Therapeutic Horticulture opportunities available (be sure to register for each one individually).

  • October 2, 2026 - Building a low-profile foliage and texture arrangement.
  • November 6, 2026 - Linear and radial arrangement using focal vs. filler stems.
  • December 4, 2026 - Petite arrangements, flower crowns, or wired boutonnieres/corsages.
