  • 5/5 from Emily Desmonie, attended Jan 2023: This class was amazing! I loved Elise's approach to arranging, which started with grounding and learning the basic rules before making our own arrangements. We learned so much and had a great time while there. She picked out gorgeous flowers and we got to pick everything about our arrangement down to the vase. Highly recommend as a group activity that is something new and different.
