PROPER FLOWERS
SAINT VALENTINES DAY
WE KNOW VALENTINES DAY CELEBRATES LOVE IN MANY WAYS. THIS TIME OF YEAR IS SPECIAL TO US, AS GROWERS, AS IT MARKS THE END OF THE PERSEPHONE PERIOD IN UPSATE NY, THE TIME OF YEAR WHERE THERE IS THE LEAST AMOUNT OF LIGHT. BIRDSONG GREETS US AGAIN IN THE MORNINGS AND OUR EARLIEST SPRING BULBS EMERGE FROM THEIR WINTER SLEEP. THIS SPECIAL TIME OF YEAR CALLS FOR FLOWERS THAT EXPRESS OUR FEELINGS AND INSPIRE AFFECTION AND PASSION, WHETHER FOR A PARTNER, FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND. OUR MISSION IS TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER THROUGH THE BEAUTY OF FLOWERS.
EXPLORE KOKEDAMA
GRAB YOUR GALENTINE AND LEARN A NEW CRAFT! KOKEDAMA IS A JAPANESE BOTANICAL ART IN WHICH A PLANT’S ROOTS ARE WRAPPED IN MOSS AND BOUND WITH STRING, TRANSFORMING IT INTO A LIVING SCULPTURE THAT CAN LIVE AND GROW IN A DECORATIVE BOWL OR OTHER VESSEL, HUNG FROM STRING IN THE AIR OR MOUNTED AND HUNG ON THE WALL.
THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT PLANTS THAT CAN THRIVE IN A KOKE ‘MOSS’ DAMA ‘BALL’ AND IN THIS CLASS WE WILL EXPERIMENT WITH THE STAGHORN FERN.
WHEN: 4:30PM 2/15/25 WHERE: UPSTATE OF MIND 33 SECOND ST. TROY NY
GOODE LOVE
