Celebrate the season with pumpkins, petals, and a touch of autumn charm. We’ll begin with a short guided walk to enjoy the fall colours, then carve out pumpkins and transform them into floral arrangements with mums and other seasonal blooms. Warm up along the way with apple cider or hot chocolate (bring your favourite mug if you’d like!). In this two-hour workshop, you’ll create a unique piece to take home, bringing a festive touch to any table, porch, or harvest display.
