Attend our Cabin Fever Breakaway Brunch (or any one of our workshops in February or March) and you’ll be surrounded by all manner of Spring… branches of quince, magnolia, apple, pear… forced to blossom, potted spring bulbs and fresh cut market flowers – muscari, parrot tulips, daffodils… Be inspired at our luncheon, with an entertaining and informative Spring Floral demonstration by Vintage Gardener’s Elaine Martin. She’ll offer tips on how to force branches and bulbs to bloom and invite an early spring into your home décor.
(Yes you can purchase all of the demonstrated items – even say you
made it if you like!) |
