Celebrating in a Pandemic   

I am not, and have never been, someone who loves their birthday and goes all out. That said, this year’s birthday was flat out depressing. There’s nothing like a milestone to shine a big spotlight on how isolating the pandemic can be. We knew there had to be a floral solution: Enter the virtual birthday flower workshop.   

As many of you know, floral workshops have been at the core of our business for over a decade. About a month ago, one of our regulars asked if we would do a private workshop for her birthday, and the idea was born. Here’s how it works:

On the date of your choosing, we’ll deliver gorgeous buckets of flowers and vases to the doorsteps of your invited guests. (We can even deliver cute snacks, festive hats, and boas… really anything you dream up with the flowers). We’ll teach a private class live on zoom that evening. Although not quite the same as cheersing (that’s not a word, we know!) in person, it’s a wonderful, safe way to gather and celebrate.

Interested in booking a workshop? Give us a ring and we’ll talk you through all the fun options, from floral arrangements to wreath making parties to holiday centerpiece classes. See you in a workshop soon!
