Imagine walking long rows of flowers in bloom, snipping the ones you love the best, and taking them back to a work table in a light-filled space to create a stunning piece of floral art all your own. Think you need to travel to Tuscany or some other distant locale to indulge in such a treat? In actuality, you can have this enriching experience right here in Philadelphia at Love ‘n Fresh Flowers!  We offer several unique and deeply enjoyable hands-on learning opportunities for flowers lovers.

All of Love ‘n Fresh Flowers hands-on learning experiences focus on floral design techniques that effortlessly showcase locally and sustainably grown elements, including those snipped right out of your home garden. Students are encouraged to explore their own style of design within the framework of guidelines demonstrated in these hands-on floral design workshops and to ask questions about planting a flower garden of their own.

Easy registration for workshops is available in our online shop. Registration for individual workshops does not open until 30 days before the class so be sure to check back if you don’t see the workshop you want to attend in the online shop yet.  Workshops are held at our flower farm located in the Roxborough neighborhood of Philadelphia.

Hands-on Floral Design Learning in Philadelphia

Our FLORAL FUNDAMENTALS series is a relaxed and creative experience for complete beginners and more experienced hobbyists alike.  These workshops are 2-3 hours in length and tackle one specific design project, as noted in the workshop description.  Floral FUNdamentals emphasize the fun for floral arranging and we use this time together to tickle your creativity and build a sense of community and connection among students.  Each workshop includes a short farm tour, a detailed design demonstration, many buckets of blooms and foliage from our farm for students to choose freely from, a chance to walk around the farm and cut some special stems yourself, and all the tools and materials you need to create your floral project.  Workshops are kept to a small size (8-12 students) so everyone has plenty of time to chat with Jennie and to feel relaxed in the space.  To see the full schedule of workshops, click here.
