What is it all about?

Bouquets, corsages, and centerpieces. Cut flowers, dried flowers, or other plants. Plant crafts such as flower arranging, pressed flowers, evergreen arrangements, and more can add beauty to a room, an event, or someone’s day. Youth in this project will explore ways to be creative with plants.
