2022 Workshops at Knapp Homestead
All workshops are 90-minutes long and are held at Knapp Homestead, located at 849 County Road 519, Frenchtown, New Jersey. Workshops begin with a detailed demonstration of the day’s floral technique. You will then be treated to a tour of the gardens hosted by Lindsay Knapp, the flower farmer. She will explain how the flowers are grown and cared for. During this walk, I’ll demonstrate some principles of how flowers are chosen for arrangments. As an avid forager, I will also teach you how to find beautiful material on your own property! After you’ve harvested armfuls of flowers we will move to our outdoor flower studio where you will be guided through making a seasonal arrangement or flower crown. The workshop materials include a vase, detailed flower list and care sheet. Youth ages 8 and up are welcome when accompanied by an adult.
