Learn all about flowers
If you're like me and you love having fresh flowers in your home, Mary Athena's floral 3 hour workshop will appeal to you. Mary is a third generation florist in Sydney, and locals say she was "born with a flower in her hand."
The outdoor workshop started with an introduction to flowers and how to best prepare them so they stay fresh in the vase.
We went around and asked about specific flowers and how to best keep them.
I learned many useful tips, such as how to properly dethorn roses, and how to make lilies open if they are closed up tight.
My favourite part of the workshop was getting to make a floral bouquet ourselves. Mary brought out a gorgeous array of flowers and taught us how to make a beautiful bouquet.
Of course the bouquet she made in mere minutes was gorgeous and perfect. Ours took a bit longer and may have been a bit messier, but it was a fun process and we got to take our bouquets home.
Mary Athena is a knowledgeable and fun florist, I really enjoyed doing her workshop. If you are looking for something interesting to do on the weekend and want to learn more about flowers this is a great workshop to take.
