Kids and Flower Camp Puppies

Why not…it is sum­mer and that is what kids do in the summer…go to camp. I learned to sail and dig for clams at camp in the Hamp­tons of Long Island. How­ev­er, the young ladies of Sier­ra Madre request­ed Flower Camp with Flower Duet. So that is what we did. Yes Emi­ly, there is a younger audi­ence who have tak­en up flower arrang­ing. The age range is 8–12 years old. This effer­ves­cent group of girls met me at the Los Ange­les Flower Mart last Mon­day at 730am to pick out the flow­ers and con­tain­ers for their designs.

Floral Design for All Ages

This group, four of whom had attend­ed our class­es at the Hunt­ing­ton this past year, accom­pa­nied by one of the Moms, fear­less­ly nav­i­gat­ed rows of mums, ros­es, hydrangea, and hyper­icum berries. Blurt­ing the names that they had learned over the year. I was so proud. Once we picked out every­thing we need­ed we head­ed back to the venue for us to cre­ate a hand-tied bou­quet and these pup­py dogs. A great time was had by all. Thanks, Aspen, Alex­is, Savan­nah, Saman­tha, Emi­ly and Abby…and Mom Pat­ty too!
