Private Botanical Workshops

Gather your creative friends and join Jess for a floral-filled, privately organized in-person workshop this year at a location you provide within 20 miles of zip code 98024. Our workshops allow you to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life for a couple hours as you indulge your senses and reconnect with the beauty of the natural world. Let the soothing scent of fresh foliage, the elegance of locally-grown blooms, and the warmth of genuine camaraderie uplift your spirit and inspire your creativity. They are ideal for small gatherings, a birthday party for you or your favorite flower or garden-loving friend, bridal showers or other special occasions. They offer an exclusive opportunity to bond with friends, family, neighbors, or colleagues in a serene and inspiring way. Whether you're a budding enthusiast or a seasoned green-thumb, our private workshops offer something for everyone.
