What our students say:
“Flower Arranging with Native Poppy is a MUST! My mom, best friend and I did the flower arranging workshop as a fun girls day and had the BEST time. We laughed, we learned, and we drank wine. Their guidance and breakdown of arranging flowers was easy to follow. We can't wait to do more workshops with them.”
