Workshops & Classes

Spring Garden-Style Centerpiece Workshop

Vera Studio leads a workshop at Scout Cafe that celebrates the season with a lush, garden-style centerpiece. Participants of any experience level will explore how to choose fresh, seasonal blooms and foliage, then arrange them for a whimsical, natural look. All supplies are included, and everyone leaves with a finished piece to brighten their home. Complimentary teas and a curated selection of drinks and pastries are available during the session with advance ordering, and an email will arrive a few days beforehand so attendees can place pre-orders from Scout Cafe’s menu. Capacity is limited, and groups of three or more receive an automatic 15 percent discount at checkout.
