Gardens and Tonic: Virtual Autumn Flower Arranging Demonstration

Join flower arranger extraordinaire Valerie McLaughlin as she leads us through artistically creating a flower arrangement made from material gathered in the Scott Arboretum’s late season gardens. Sit back and relax in the comfort of your own home, as Valerie creates a work of art before your eyes. Valerie’s teaching style is fun and engaging so whether you want to learn about flower arranging or just watch it in motion – we encourage you to join us! This will be the virtual component of this program – to watch live and in-person at the Scott Arboretum on the same date and time, see: In-person: Autumn Flower Arranging Demonstration.
