Join us for a special afternoon with Margaret Stokes from Flowers Local Memphis as she shares her expertise on growing specialty cut flowers. In this engaging presentation, you'll learn about selecting, cultivating, and harvesting flowers perfect for home gardens or small-scale floral projects.
Following the talk, enjoy a live demonstration of flower arranging techniques, where Stokes will show you how to create stunning displays using seasonal blooms. While this is a demonstration-only event (participants will not create their own arrangements), you’ll leave with tips and inspiration to try at home.
