Everyone enjoys fresh cut flowers. They can make a great gift and can spruce up any room. Wouldn’t it be fun to create a centerpiece of fresh cut flowers from your garden? Nikki will demonstrate how to take fresh cut flowers from the garden and make a beautiful centerpiece. Resources on cut flower care and helpful tools will be discussed along with information about what garden flowers make the best cut flowers. Following the discussion and demonstration, participants will get to make a centerpiece that they can take home with them.
