Picture everyone sitting down to a table with flowers you chose and arranged yourself. Join today and you'll have plenty of time to watch, shop and practice before Thanksgiving.

Sound familiar?

You stand in front of the flower buckets at the store, holding some greenery and some flowers, and aren't sure they actually go together.

You get home, cut the rubber bands, put them in a vase... and they look like you plopped them in a vase.

Here's the good news: the flowers were never the problem. What's missing is knowing which ones to pick, how to care for them, and how to put them together. That's what I teach in this workshop.

What You'll Learn

From the grocery store to your table

  • What to buy: which bunches to bring home, and how to swap in whatever your store has that week
  • How to make it last: what to do the minute you get home, so your flowers still look fresh on Thanksgiving Day
  • How to arrange it: step by step, from building the shape to layering in the blooms
  • Plus a PDF handout with all the details to keep, and a shopping cheat sheet for your phone to use at the store

Made for real life

  • Made for beginners and flower lovers alike
  • Ready to watch now on your phone, tablet or computer
  • Ask a question under any lesson and I'll answer it myself (me Erin, not an AI bot 😊)

FAQs

Is this a live class?

No. You can start right after you join and watch whenever it suits you, right in your library.

I've never arranged flowers. Can I really do this?

Yes. This workshop was made for beginners and flower lovers alike. I walk you through every step, from what to put in your cart to the very last stem.

I'm already pretty good at arranging flowers. Is this right for me?

I think so! I'm a big fan of learning from other people, and I take workshops all the time because I love seeing someone else's creative process. In this workshop, you'll see exactly how I choose my flowers, care for them, and arrange them.

What if my store doesn't carry the same flowers you used?

No problem. You'll learn what to look for, not just which flowers to buy, so you can choose from whatever your store has that week.

What supplies do I need?

A vessel (you probably already own one that works), clippers or sharp scissors, and simple, inexpensive mechanics - the support that holds your stems in place. I show you exactly what to use in the workshop.

How much will the flowers cost?

The grocery store flowers in my centerpiece came to $42.56. Prices vary by store and season, and in the Shopping lesson I show you exactly how many bunches of each to buy, so nothing goes to waste.

How long do I have access?

It's yours to keep. Watch the lessons as often as you like, on any device, for as long as we offer this class (and we plan to for many years 🙂). If we ever retire it, we'll email you at least 30 days ahead so you have time to finish.

Can I get a refund?

Because you get instant access to the full workshop, all sales are final. But if you get stuck or something isn't working, leave a question under any lesson and I'll help you myself.

Hi, I'm Erin.

I started as a gardener. My grandmother grew poppies and peonies in Ohio, and years later I planted a cutting garden of my own in New Jersey. I fell completely in love with growing flowers and arranging them, and that's how Gathered from the Garden began.

Whether your flowers come from the backyard or the grocery store, I teach the same thing: how to choose them, how to care for them, and how to arrange them so they look natural and beautiful. I can't wait to show you.
