Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and I can hardly wait! My cleaning list is growing, my meal plan is underway, and invitations have gone out; I’m so looking forward to a day filled with friends, family, and plenty of good food. It’s one of my favorite holidays, a chance to slow down, gather, and celebrate the season’s blessings together.
What makes it even more special for me is how perfectly Thanksgiving lines up with the peak of my favorite flower: the chrysanthemum. These blooms are pure magic this time of year, and I love bringing them indoors to share their beauty with everyone gathered around my table. Their rich colors and intricate shapes make the most striking centerpieces, creating an inviting, elegant touch for even the most casual of gatherings. When the weather turns cold and the fields start to fade, mums let us keep that connection to nature right in the heart of our homes.
That’s exactly why our final design workshop of the season celebrates the chrysanthemum as our star flower! Join me on Wednesday, November 26th, for our Thanksgiving Centerpiece Workshop here on the farm. We’ll design festive arrangements overflowing with our signature heirloom chrysanthemums as the perfect finishing touch for your holiday table.
During the class, you’ll learn sustainable design techniques, tips for keeping your blooms fresh longer, and plenty of creative ways to showcase your flowers. It’s an easygoing, hands-on design experience open to all skill levels, whether you’re a seasoned floral designer or just love working with beautiful, local blooms.
So come spend a cozy afternoon on the farm with us, creating something gorgeous, laughing with new friends, and getting into the Thanksgiving spirit. You’ll head home with a stunning centerpiece that’s sure to impress your dinner guests (and maybe even upstage the turkey!).
XOXO, Jess
