New class aims to grow your flower arranging skills

Have you ever looked at a beautiful flower arrangement and wondered how the bouquet got made and how long the work took? The decorative task may be easier than you think, and you may only need the right guidance.

Kingsport’s Parks and Recreation can help through an upcoming Flower Arranging Class in the Civic Auditorium History Room on June 8. From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., instructor Phillips Fortney will offer participants fundamental skills, along with some tips and tricks, to help make your flower arrangements shine.

The cost of the class is $20 per person and participants need to bring their own supplies (an 8” tall vase with a 3” – 4” opening, knife/stem shears). Fresh flowers will be provided to help bring your bouquet to life.

To register for the class, click on the CivicRec link in the Connect Kingsport app or go to www.kingsporttn.gov and click on the “CivicRec” link, then search for “flower arranging” in the search bar.
