Learn how to create a vertical floral screen using seasonal flowers, grasses and foliage. These transparent designs have lots of movement and negative space which create a unique display. We cover flower/foliage selection and conditioning. The workshop includes a demo of different mechanics to keep the stems in place, including foam-free options.

NOTE: The photo shows a spring design. We will be using summer florals and greens, of course!
