Shadow Box Botanical Arrangement

Preserve the beauty of the garden long after the growing season has passed. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn the fundamentals of drying flowers before creating your own floral shadow box arrangement. Using a selection of dried blooms and natural materials, you'll design a unique piece of botanical art that captures the color, texture, and charm of the natural world.

Your finished shadow box will be ready to display in your home for years to come or can be given as a thoughtful handmade gift. No experience is necessary, and all materials are provided. Participants will leave with a completed arrangement and the knowledge to continue preserving flowers at home.
