"Spring" 

Monday May 20th 2013 

To be held at Miss Pickering's shop, Stamford, England.

It's that time of year when spring slams into summer and the resulting explosion is of frilled tulips, ranunculus, narcissus, AND peonies. A heady mix for the floral glutton.

Both Lotte and Miss Pickering will be teaching so you'll get to see how two different florists approach the same flowers. We'll be covering the techniques of a hand tied bouquet, arrangement, a corsage, as well as insider knowledge on how to show off the flowers of spring to their best advantage.

All flowers, tools, and containers are included, along with light refreshments and a lunch.

Please bring a basket/box/wheelbarrow to take your work home in.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall

Lotte  Previously a pair of antlers. Previously are were a kind of family heirloom. They used to hang at the top of the stairs until we found out the nail holding them up apparently wasn't up to the job.
Miss Pickering The helicopter spends more time crumpled in a heap on the floor that it does in the air. Hours of fun for all the family, fighting over the remote control.
