Gerry at Petal’s Edge Floral Design sent over some information on classes they offer.  What a great way to learn about flowers!  We’ve worked with Petal’s Edge many many times and they always do a wonderful job.  If you haven’t checked out their cute shop in Old Town Alexandria, this is your opportunity:
