ClassBento crafter Varya B. shared about her wild flower arranging experience:
"I took my friend to a floral arrangement workshop at Merchant and Green for her belated 30th birthday over the weekend, and it was such a great experience! We both love flowers, especially Australian natives, so this was the perfect activity. Our instructor was super friendly and knowledgeable, making it a fun and relaxed session for our small group of 3. We left with some useful tips on how to care for and arrange flowers in various ways, and each of us got to take home a beautiful bouquet. It was definitely worth it, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys flowers!"
