SFA Gardens to host floral design workshop

NACOGDOCHES, Texas — Stephen F. Austin State University’s SFA Gardens will host a floral design workshop to share methods for creating artistic flower arrangements.

The event will run from 9 a.m. to noon March 9 in the Brundrett Conservation Education Building, Room 101, at the SFA Pineywoods Native Plant Center, located at 2900 Raguet St.

Jordan Cunningham, SFA Gardens greenhouse technician, will explore the principles of floral design including shapes, colors, materials and construction.

“With a bit of basic knowledge and your own creativity, making floral arrangements can be simple and enjoyable,” Cunningham said. “You can apply the principles to a wide variety of materials, including cut flowers and greenery from your own garden.”

Participants will create their own floral arrangement to take home. All materials will be provided.

Cost for the seminar is $25 for SFA Garden members and $35 for non-members. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. To register for the seminar or for more information, contact the SFA Gardens education office at (936) 468-4129 or sfagardens@sfasu.edu.
