Q: Who do I contact with workshop questions?

Red, White & Blooms Floral Workshop at Lavender Hill Farm sits among lavender rows just outside Boyne City, Michigan, United States. On June 25th this approximately two-hour class invites makers aged 12 and up to build a Fourth of July centerpiece using Hidcote Blue lavender and seasonal red, white, and blue blooms. The workshop takes place inside a century-old Barn with check-in at the Ambassador Stand between the red barn and white farmhouse, and parking in the Drying Shed Parking Area. Local floral artist Sydney of Boyne City leads step-by-step instruction, making the session approachable for first-timers and satisfying for people with prior floral experience. Materials are provided: florals, lavender (fresh when available or an alternate/dried variety when necessary), design tools, and a wooden vessel to take home. Weather permitting, guests may harvest lavender from the field; otherwise a prepared bundle is used. Space is limited and pre-registration closes forty-eight hours before the event, so reserve early—tickets are $50 per person and all sales are final. What makes this workshop stand out is its farm setting and hands-on rhythm. The barn’s historic wood beams and the scent of lavender create a simple, tactile experience that foregrounds local seasonal blooms and traditional cutting practices. Participants not only learn basic mechanics—conditioning stems, wiring, and arranging—but also compositional choices that translate well to home centerpieces and hostess gifts. It’s a social, low-stress way to celebrate the holiday weekend with friends, family, or solo. Practicalities are friendly: arrive 10–15 minutes early to allow time for a short walk to check-in, print or save your ticket for scanning, and explore the Farmhouse Boutique before or after class. The site is ADA compliant inside the Barn and Farmhouse but farm grounds may be uneven; contact organizers if you need special assistance. If Lavender Hill Farm cancels the class you will be notified and refunded. For workshop questions contact Sydney at 231 - 330 - 7979; general event questions go to [email protected]. This is a seasonal craft anchored in place—lavender fields, a century-old barn, and a local floral artist—offering a practical, sensory introduction to flower design and a tangible memento to take home. Whether you come for the aroma, the instruction, or the chance to hand-cut lavender, the Red, White & Blooms workshop transforms a holiday weekend into a small, creative ritual. Many guests pair the workshop with a stroll through field rows and a stop at the Farmhouse Boutique to pick up lavender sachets and seasonal goods; the arrangement you make doubles as a hostess gift or a keepsake from Boyne City. Groups and solo visitors alike appreciate the relaxed pacing, and the farm’s contact and email make it simple to arrange questions or accommodations before you arrive.
