She will discuss her process from growing, to drying, as well as some of her favorite flowers to work with. Jessica will demonstrate how to decorate a wreath using home-grown sustainable floral products, seasonal blooms, foraged foliage, and garden-grown accents to transform a simple base into a statement piece.

Jessica Callaghan Bio:

Evocative as floral is about creating playful, whimsical pieces and installations with own-grown and locally foraged/sourced seasonal material.  Sustainable flowering is a big part of what I strive to offer, meaning free mechanics, ecofriendly solutions, and chemical  free. I grow and partner with other local farms whenever possible.  Drawing on my background as a photo and prop stylist I love to make flowers for your feels!
