Early Bloomers Flower Arranging at Ox Bow

Participants will explore the art of flower arranging through the lens of early spring, working with seasonal blooms, budding branches, and fresh greens that reflect the textures and rhythms of the moment. Demonstrations will cover basic floral design principles, how to condition stems, and how to compose balanced, expressive arrangements that highlight the natural character of spring flowers. Local flowers from White Barn Flower Company in Holland, Michigan, will be provided to each participant. The class will conclude with a group discussion, after which participants will take their arrangements home.

Plan to bring: a vessel, garden gloves, and a sturdy box to safely transport your finished arrangement.
