Floral design offerings are led by florist Sydney Wormell and include a Sunflower Floral Design session and Dried Floral Wreath Workshops scheduled for June 30 and August 13. The wreath workshop focuses on an 18-inch wreath made with eucalyptus and dried flowers. Painting classes feature professional artist Daniel Duncan with guided instruction to complete an 11x14 canvas; all painting supplies are provided.
