The Tuesday, March 16, flower arrangement workshop which was presented by Joanne King at the “S” Club of Fillmore High School and also open to parents & interested people was well attended. Joanne did a clear blackboard “chalk talk” explaining the difference between bouquets & arrangements with diagrams showing traditional, abstract/modern and oriental type arrangements.

Creativity was flowing as all joined in, using vases and large variety of flowers brought for the workshop. After all the beautiful “work” was displayed, Joanne spent time giving suggestions and critiques for the benefit of all.
