Cut Flowers Workshop with The Flower Lady OTR

Hi! My name is Christina, AKA The Flower Lady OTR, and I am super excited to invite you to visit my garden located in the historic East End!

We'll start with a guided tour of the garden to learn about the plants we will be harvesting. As an added bonus, we'll be able to enjoy views of all the beautiful pollinators, like butterflies, who call my garden home. After the tour is complete, you'll have the opportunity to wander around and harvest a bouquet, which I'll teach you how to arrange and which is yours to take home. In addition to your bouquet, you'll also have the opportunity to harvest a small bouquet of "bonus kindness flowers" with the sole intention of giving it away as a random act of kindness.

I'll be there to answer any questions about flower gardening, floral arranging and anything else you'd like to know.

Parking information will be sent out to participants prior to the event.

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR VISIT:

• One pair of garden pruners and gloves will be provided for you to cut flowers.
• A vase and water for the flowers will provided.
• Sometimes Mother Nature can make the garden a little soggy, bumpy, and slippery so be sure you wear appropriate footwear. Closed toed boots/shoes are recommended, as well as wearing pants and long sleeves. The flowering plants provide shelter for many different types of insects, and wearing pants and sleeves is a great way to keep them on the plants and off of you.
• Packing sunglasses, water bottles, hats, sunscreen and bug spray can make our time together a lot more enjoyable.
• There are no restrooms at the garden. The closest one would be inside a nearby restaurant or gas station should you have an emergency.
• I welcome you to take photos of the flowers and would love for you to share your experience at the garden with your family & friends! Please give me a follow and tag me on Instagram and Facebook @theflowerladyotr
• I do not allow animals in the garden. Please email theflowerladyotr@gmail.com in advance if you have a registered service dog.
• Have young children? Bring them! My garden is family friendly and I love to see families enjoying the garden together. However, please do not let your small children have the harvesting shears, keep them with you at all times.
