Description
At Fitts Farm, we see flowers as more than decoration — they are an expression of nature’s rhythm and a reflection of the land that nurtures them. Our Arranging Cut Flowers Course invites participants to discover the artistry and satisfaction of creating beautiful, natural floral arrangements directly from the garden. Whether you’re arranging blooms for your home, an event, or as part of a small farm business, this class teaches the essential techniques and creative principles behind professional-quality floral design.
Participants will begin by exploring flower selection and harvest timing, learning how to cut, condition, and handle blooms to extend their vase life. The course covers floral structure, color balance, texture, and composition, emphasizing natural design styles that highlight the organic beauty of farm-grown flowers. Students will work hands-on to create arrangements using freshly harvested flowers and greenery grown at Fitts Farm, gaining confidence in both form and creative expression.
Our instructors will share tips on maintaining freshness, rehydrating stems, and choosing vessels that complement each design. The class also includes guidance on sustainable floristry — from composting trimmings to avoiding chemical preservatives — aligning with our farm’s regenerative and environmentally responsible philosophy.
