Navarre Garden Club sponsors Ninth Annual Thanksgiving Centerpiece Workshop
Every year the Navarre Garden Club sponsors a workshop to teach a little of the basics of floral design for the public. This year the Thanksgiving Centerpiece Workshop will be held on Monday, November 23rd from 9:30 – 11:30 at the Elk’s Lodge of Navarre, on Elk’s Way, just across from the Baptist Medical Park.
Cost to the public is $15.00 ($12 for club members). Each attendee at the workshop will take home a beautiful centerpiece for their Thanksgiving table, as well as a wealth of knowledge in floral design for every day use. Attendees must bring their own scissors, wire cutters, a tall trash bag and an old towel. All other materials will be provided. There will also be various floral design materials on sale at the workshop.
As for the past nine years, those who wish can stay in the afternoon to make small arrangements for the Thanksgiving dinner trays of patients in local hospitals and nursing homes. To make your reservation, call April at 677-1654 and leave a detailed message.
