get lost (& play with florals)

DIY flower bouquet afternoon A low-key afternoon of playing with florals together in a beautiful space right in the heart of the flower district in Manhattan. No experience needed — we're not floral people, but we can still make something beautiful with what we've got. 💐 Get loose 💐 We'll go over flower care, focal stems vs. fillers, and how to build a garden-style bouquet. Then you build your own and take it home. Note: depending on the number of attendees, we may do a walk-through of a few flower stores to pick up stems together to build our bouquets. We'll confirm the day before! 🌿 Complimentary materials 🌿 All flowers, plus craft paper, twine, and wrapping so your bouquet is ready to go. Card-making supplies if you want to write to someone — I'll mail it for you (US postage included). Instant prints of you and your bouquet. Plus some snacks by Salt & Acid and bubbly beverages. ✨ Come as you are ✨ Please arrive on time so we can spend the full session together. You're also welcome to come and go, but we invite you to enjoy the event together. Where we'll meet: We'll meet at our venue (exact location sent 1 day before the event starts) in the Flower District (West 28th St in Chelsea, Manhattan!) Supporting BloomAgainBKLN BloomAgainBKLN builds connection and community through repurposed flowers, reducing isolation among vulnerable populations while fostering meaningful interactions among volunteers, recipients, and partners.
