Tessa's Garden Workshop- POSIES!

On May 10th- the day before Mother's Day - I conducted our inaugural workshop in the Bonny Doon Garden.  The weather was gorgeuous, the roses beginning their show, and the posies we made were absolutely perfect!  I met several new acquaintances, and I have to say, I was in my element!  I LOVED sharing my passion for flowers, combined with beautiful, historical sweet little posie-know-how with my new friends!  Here's some photos I would like to share --images taken by my brother in law, who has found a new passion in photography!  He's definitely doing a fabulous job--don't you think?

A mother & daughter together making posies...what a great mother's day idea!

Lessons in beauty--although I found myself thinking here- Marilyn, are you sure you haven't done this before?'

Me and Deborah Schatan (Sky Meadow Apothecary).  She gave her posie to her mother-in-law, and it was WELL received of course!

A perfect posie! Wow, and I mean perfect-o!

In Eastern lands, they talk in flowers, and they tell in a garland their loves and cares; each blossom that blooms in their garden bowers, on its leaves a mystic language bears

I am so thankful to all of my first workshop students.  I am impressed with your vigor, interest, and graciousness.  You all took something beautiful, and made it into a splendid masterpiece, never to be forgotten in the heart of the recipient.
