PETALS & PLATES: An Extraordinary Experience with a Festive Nod to Spring
$90.00

We're delighted to bring you this next Extraordinary Experience. We're all looking forward to spring and the flowers and foliage that follow. We've got a fun, talented special guest with loads to teach you and something to create with you. Here's how the evening will look.

You’ll be welcomed in with a pretty springtime cocktail and a fabulous amuse bouche. You'll check in and find out what group you're in. The first will stay upstairs with our guest, Angie from Meri Jo Flower Farm. We had her in last summer for a pop-up flower shop. She was so engaging and her stunning floral arrangements were so beautiful that she sold every last one of them well before the event was over. It was then that we knew we just had to have her back. She'll help get us ready for the growing season by sharing some of her expertise with you-- teaching you how to make your own garden bouquets, which low-maintenance flowers are perfect for your cutting garden, and how to condition your flowers and fillers before arranging to keep them fresh and beautiful for as long as possible. She's a wealth of information and inspiration and she'll sharing a lot of both!

Angie will help you create a springy floral centerpiece to take home in a beautiful rabbit vessel. (value $50). It'll look gorgeous on your Easter table or anywhere in your home, which brings us to the next part of the evening.

While the first group is with Angie, the second will head downstairs for a mini-cooking class to learn how to create the amuse bouche as well as an absolutely stunning veggie platter with a creamy whipped feta lemon dip, and how to prepare the dessert--a pretty-as-a-picture pastry filled with italian vanilla custard and laden with fresh berries.

Kathy and Marty will show you how to set a beautiful table, how to incorporate all sorts of things (including your arrangement) to a create a tablescape the will turn heads and add that extra something special to your Easter table or any springtime event. If you've ever looked at our windows or noticed a particularly gorgeous or fun display in the store, you know these two ladies have a gift for creating beauty, and have incredibly creative ideas that we're sure you'll love. Watch them put their talents to work and be inspired!

We'll change stations and when everyone has finished both, we'll meet together upstairs to enjoy that delicious dessert together.

You'll leave with your beautiful arrangement, some fabulous recipes, and loads of inspiration to make life a little more beautiful.
