Free Floral Design Workshop

Design by Master Gardener, Carol Ullerich

Flower arranging is an art which goes back in history almost 5,000 years, possibly more. The earliest evidences we have of this art are the pottery flower holding vases from Egyptian tombs or ruins. All down through the ages there is further evidence that flowers and floral decorations have played an important part in the life of civilized man. The McCracken County Extension service is hosting a Fantastic Floral Design Workshop on Tuesday, March 3. This class will help increase your knowledge of floral design elements-principles, history and color use. The free class will be held at 1:30 p.m. at the McCracken County Extension office, 2705 Olivet Church Road in Paducah. You can call the extension office at 270-554-9520 for additional information.
