Highlights from last year's meetings
Dining With Flowers by Marisa McCoy
In November, we were awed by expert flower arranger, Marisa McCoy, who gave us some gorgeous ideas for our holiday tables. She used everything from ribbons and pheasant feathers, to stunning roses, crabapples and limes. She decorated candlesticks, used unusually-shaped containers and truly inspired us. At the end, eight lucky members of the audience got to take home one of her creations.

Williamsburg Wreaths with Josie Kolourat-Maritz
In December we had a fun time making wreaths under Josie's tutelage, using clementines, ribbon, dried orange peels and pods. They were all so different from each other, but they all looked and smelled beautiful.

A Taste of Holland - Adriana O'Sullivan
January took us to Adriana's homeland, Holland, along with the Cottage Gardeners. Our armchair travelers saw slides of Keukenhof, the largest spring flowering bulb display in the world. We saw small towns all over Holland, along with both private and public gardens.

Valentine Rose Workshop with Nancy Engel
February brought us Nancy Engel from The Sunny Window in Southborough. Nancy taught us some interesting tidbits about roses and aromatherapy, served us rose tea and showed us how to make a wreath of dried Turkish roses. Some of the fun facts we learned are: roses are good for treating depression, stress, emotional trauma and scars; it takes 60,000 Bulgarian roses to make 1 ounce of rose water; and lastly, if you put rose geranium in a diffuser for a dinner party, you will be guaranteed a good time!
