Master Gardener Dorothy McDuffie comments, “Grocery store bouquets are often sold ready to-use, but chances are you want to add your own flair to arrangements. In our class, we will demonstrate how to maximize the effect of a store-bought bouquet using flower arranging basics and step-by-step instructions for creating an impressive display with grocery store flowers and greenery from the store or your own yard. We will also show how to use your bouquet in a topiary presentation or a small compact display using floral foam. Participants who want to create an imaginative arrangement in class should bring two grocery store bouquets, greenery (from your yard or the store), a small shallow container, clippers or scissors, and a block of floral foam, along with optional ornamental items to enhance your floral creation.”
