Let’s have some fun with Ikebana and make a unique Ikebana Japanese floral arrangement for Mother’s Day for yourself or to give as a gift. You will learn how to make an arrangement which expresses simplicity, seasonality, movement and harmony, which are all important qualities of Ikebana.

Ikebana is a national Japanese treasure that is over 500 years old and still enjoyed by people all over the world. Irene will share the history of Ikebana and also show the traditional tools used for creating Ikebana arrangements.

All plant materials and a glass vase will be provided.

Registration includes admission to the beautiful Gardens before or after class.
