Westmoreland Sanctuary’s 2025-2026 Floral Design Workshop Series

A Creative, Seasonal Experience for Adults to Connect with Nature

Westmoreland Sanctuary is excited to announce their Floral Design Workshop Series, a seasonal program designed for adults to explore the beauty of flowers and plants through the lens of sustainable, nature-inspired design. These evening workshops are the perfect opportunity to relax, be creative, and enjoy the changing seasons.

From crafting wildflower arrangements in the fall to designing eco-friendly wreaths for the holidays, each workshop offers hands-on instruction, all materials provided, and a welcoming environment to explore floral artistry. Participants will leave each session with a beautiful, handmade arrangement to take home. Additional sessions include decorating with forced bulbs in winter and creating small plant arrangements in spring, perfect opportunities for participants to connect with the beauty of each season through nature-inspired design.

Each workshop is enhanced by a series of talks by Ann Paul, Westmoreland Sanctuary’s Executive Director, Steve Ricker, Director of Conservation, who will discuss topics related to nature and sustainability. Participants will also receive expert design coaching from Nadia Ghannam, a fine art conservation specialist.
