"I had a BLAST at Frances's floral workshop last night. I learned so much and I'm super happy with my arrangement. I never really thought about how there was an art and a science to flower arranging – but it actually is a form of design. And a fun one! I want to go buy a bunch of flowers at Trader Joe's and do another one! Frances was a wonderful teacher – she had just the right blend of humor, warmth, instructiveness, and encouragement to everyone. Thank you for connecting us!

I really enjoyed your workshop! I was a little intimidated…..out of my comfort zone, which is good!

You are a wonderful teacher. Your enthusiasm is contagious. You were very upbeat, positive, and so knowledgeable!
Learning some mechanics of floral arranging was fascinating.

My passion for flowers started in my garden with beautiful wildflowers used in floral arrangements.
I love teaching floral arrangement and flower crown workshops in Central Texas!
I break down the design process so you can learn how to make a beautiful arrangement you can be proud of and recreate over and over.
I teach you how to look for the freshest product and what to leave on the shelf. You will also learn how to process your flowers for maximum shelf life!
Teaching YOU how to make stunning, unique, artistic designs.
