Turn fresh cut flowers into a beautiful arrangement

Have you ever considered growing a cut flower garden? As gardeners, we often incorporate flowers into the landscape to bring color to the outdoors, but have you ever considered a garden just for cut flowers? Beautiful bouquets from the garden can brighten a room or make a great gift. This workshop will discuss what flowers to grow in a cutting garden and methods for harvesting and caring for cut flowers. After the discussion, participants will make an arrangement of their own in a teacup with fresh-cut garden flowers to take home with them.

Join University of Illinois Extension Program Coordinator Nikki Keltner for Teacup Flower Arrangements. This program will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 15, at the Jo Daviess County Extension Office, 204 N. Vine Street, Elizabeth, IL 61028. There is a $15 fee to attend the class, and pre-registration is required. Participants will leave with a fresh flower arrangement to take home with them.
