April Workshop: Understanding Local Flowers

While grocery store bouquets offer convenience, their hidden environmental and social costs are significant.

Shifting our support to local flower economies promotes ecological health, strengthens community wealth, and preserves regional floral diversity.

Join Wyck and instructor Courtney Jewell, owner of Jewells in Bloom, to discover why you should skip the supermarket flowers and how to easily source vibrant, seasonally appropriate local blooms wherever you are.
