April’s Workshop – By the Club, For the Club – Spring Baskets

Spring creativity in full bloom 🌸

Take a look at the beautiful basket arrangements created by everyone who joined our April workshop “By the Club, For the Club – Spring Baskets.” It was wonderful to see so many unique interpretations, from delicate glass container designs to classic foam-based arrangements.

A big thank you to Janet Bentley and Margaret Stanford for sharing their expertise and inspiring us all with their demonstrations.

Each basket tells its own story… but there’s one that’s especially unique 👀
Can you spot the arrangement featuring a blackbird’s discarded nest? Such a clever and creative touch!

Floral Inspiration with Arnaud Matairie

What a fantastic evening at last night’s flower demonstration, “From Ekhaya to You” by Arnaud Matairie 🌸

It was truly inspiring to watch his creativity unfold — each design more beautiful than the last. Not only were the arrangements stunning, but the demonstration was full of brilliant ideas for creating foam-free displays, making it both inspiring and practical.

The event was very well attended, creating a lovely atmosphere throughout the evening. To top it all off, several of the designs were raffled, and the lucky winners went home with absolutely gorgeous arrangements!

We finished the night with tea, cake, and great conversation — the perfect ending to such an enjoyable and uplifting event.

Already looking forward to the next one!
