  • Holiday Flower Centerpiece Workshop at UConnBlooms

    Learn to make your own holiday centerpiece at UConn Blooms on Monday Dec 19th.   Jim Palmieri, the floral arts instructor, will guide you in making a holiday arrangement for your table or as a gift to bring to a party or reception.  These one candle centerpieces will last for two to three weeks and decorate a room through New Year's Eve.  This is a great thing to do with your fellow workers.

    The instruction in basic floral design will a take about an hour and a half, from 5:30 to 7:00 in the Floriculture building at 1395 Storrs Road across from the yellow barn.  A $30.00 fee will get you the container, greens, flowers and the pride of making a beautiful creation. Parking is available in the back of our building or alongside our greenhouse in the driveway.
