Let’s have some fun with Ikebana and make a Fourth of July Ikebana Japanese floral arrangement. As America marks 250 years of independence, participants in this workshop will learn how to make a unique Fourth of July Ikebana arrangement that expresses simplicity, seasonality, movement and harmony, which are all important qualities of Ikebana.

You will also be introduced to the history of Ikebana, which is 500 years old and the traditional tools used to create these elegant Ikebana arrangements.

Children 12 and older are welcome to attend when accompanied by a parent— both must purchase a ticket.

All plant materials and a glass vase will be provided.

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