Winter Workshops

We are pleased to announce a series of three exciting Winter Workshops!

TERRARIUM WORKSHOP

Monday, February 16 | 6:30 pm | 2 hours

Create your own miniature eco system to liven up your space during the cold winter months with our Terrarium Workshop!  In this first edition of our series of three Winter Workshops, we’ll instruct you on how to build living, breathing plantscapes in a class that combines science with clean, green and chic.  Whether you love sleek, modern lined with a minimalist edge, English garden charm, or fairy garden fancifulness, you’ll find plants, containers, and a variety of terrariums decor to suit your style.

With all materials provided, participants will be able to choose from a selection of small containers (one per student with the option of bringing an additional container from home) and choose from an array of either moisture-loving or succulent (dry weather) terrariums.  Participants will then be instructed on how to prepare materials for, build, and care for their terrariums.  Participants can enjoy complimentary wine and other beverages, hors d’oeuvres and music to get their creative juices flowing.

Adults: $50 | Students & Seniors $42

It’s Bike to Work Day — and while we usually pedal toward petals, we couldn’t resist sharing this creative twist from Elle & Bryan, one of our couples who wheeled their love of cycling straight into the ceremony. 🚲✨ 

Elle & Bryan’s wedding at Dumbarton House was full of charm, personal touches, and one especially fun nod to their love of cycling. Bicycle wheels became sculptural backdrops, proving that when it comes to personal touches, there’s no such thing as too niche.

Designing florals around unexpected objects? That’s our lane. And yes — it was all uphill in the best possible way.

A night of mystery and masquerade — and the perfect way to fête the 10th anniversary of The Scout Guide Alexandria and the launch of Vol. 10! ✨ 

We loved adding our signature touch of floral drama to this year’s launch party at the Hotel Heron. From a moody and dramatic entrance piece to a flower-filled car, sculptural arrangements on cocktail tables and elevated bar arrangements casting feathered shadows and moody textures, this event let us play in a world of whimsy and wonder.

We’re proud to be part of a guide that champions small businesses and celebrates creativity in our community. Supporting local means investing in the makers, doers, and dreamers who make Alexandria vibrant — and The Scout Guide does just that, beautifully. Cheers to Vol. 10! Special thanks to Sarah and Claire for always being so supportive and encouraging.
