Wild Arrangements: A floral arranging workshop with
Alex Crowder of Field Studies Flora
Mindful foraging, an empathic approach to appreciating nature and your place within it
Alex Crowder is on a mission to re-root the floral industry. Often describing her design studio, Field Studies Flora, as a marketing agency for plants, she believes in a world where humans considerately coexist with nature more often than they confront it. In this spirit, we're pleased to offer this hands-on workshop under Alex's guidance, bringing a decade of experience in the floral world to the table. Using flora grown at Amber Waves, along with blooms that were mindfully foraged from the surrounding landscape, Alex will lead this experience of floral arranging with the brief of appreciating nature and recognizing our place within it. Attendees will need to bring their own vessel to take home their arrangement.
