Workshops

Thursday, Oct. 9, 6 to 8 p.m. — The Autumn Pumpkin Floral Arrangement class will use a pie pumpkin to hold an arrangement of fresh, locally grown flowers. The cost is $50 for Manor House members, and $55 for non-members.

Tuesday, Oct. 21, 10 to 11:30 a.m. — The Mum’s the Word class will use locally grown heirloom and vintage mums along with other seasonal stars in a lovely vase arrangement, focusing on how to incorporate different color palettes. The cost is $50 for Manor House members, and $55 for non-members.

Wednesday, Oct. 29, 6 to 8 p.m. — The Heirloom Pumpkin Arrangement class will use a beautiful specialty pumpkin to hold an arrangement of locally grown dried flowers.
