Citrus Class

CITRUS CLASS
Saturday, December 18th
1:00-4:00pm
$250

Our first citrus class was so dope, we could hardly wait a whole year to do it again... December brings beautiful lush citrus fruit from Florida; what a better way to shake the winter's chill than with kumquats, clementines, tangerines and limes. We'll be pairing these lovelies with other seasonal winter flowers like ranunculus, nerine lillies, amaryllis, cedar, acacia, and poppies.

Succulents & Begonias

Succulents and Begonias

Saturday, January 22
1:00-4:00 pm
$250

Winter offers us a measly dearth of foliage and greenery - so we often find ourselves in the greenhouse, cutting from heirloom begonias and succulents to ritz up our arrangements. The silvery and textured greens these two very different species share makes an ideal backdrop for the delicate winter blooms we love - amaryllis, ranunculus, anemones, etc. The class will learn about growing indoor plants for cutting, and each student will create their own winter masterpiece.

The class meets at Nicolette's studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Orchids!

Orchids!

Sunday, January 9th

1:00-4:00pm

In this class we'll liberate orchids from the contemporary/minimalist style where these beauties have been pigeon-holed for years. Along with other season material, we will highlight several different varieties of orchids (Phals, mokara, lady slippers, etc) to creating sumptuous, heady arrangements in the classic romantic style with a hothouse exotic twist. This class is going to be the best ever.

Gorgeousness! from the Copper & Rose class

We had an amazing Copper & Rose color workshop a few weeks ago! We were knee deep in persimmon & crabapple branches, sedum, rudbeckia, crocosmia & scabiosa pods, amaranth, heuchera, dahlias, abellia, chrysanthemums, gomphrena, millet, burning bush and so much more. The talented flower maven & baker Joelle has been making us amazing treats for each of our classes. Apple walnut cake with cider glaze, Umm... YES PLEASE!

Each class is more an more inspiring! We are always in awe of how different each students arrangement feels even though everyone has the same material to choose from.









Our Winter schedule will be posted soon! We promise.
We've been dreaming up classes inspired by dutch master paintings, wreath making, maybe another ranunculus class and some winter color workshops.....please stay tuned for the new schedule!

Ode to the Dahlia: in three parts

THE MUSE

I apologize in advance. I can take photos of flowers all day- especially the cafe au lait dahlia. Ivory, nude, blush, mocha, tea-stained, taupe, dusty rose, pale brown..perfect.

THE FARMER

We had the pleasure of visiting Anna Mack's glorious flower farm in western Massachusetts. The farm, aptly named "Wild & Cultivated" had some of the most beautiful dahlias Sarah & I have ever had our little hands on**.

THE GRADUATES

**There were so many gorgeous dahlias at Anna's farm. I've focused on the the 'Cafe Au Lait' but there were so many more varieties. More on our flickr.
