On Wednesday 26th April, the VFAA workshop was “Pinning”, we had lots of different leaves, various containers and many styrofoam shapes to choose from. (The styrofoam shapes we used will be recycled in future designs so they will not end up in landfill!!)

One of the most exciting parts of our Floral Art calendar is fast approaching. The Melbourne International Flower and Garden show will be held as usual in the Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens between 29th March and 2nd April 2023. It is set to be a wonderful event and worth visiting. If you are attending the show, be sure to come by and have a look at the VFAA stand C32.
