Ever wished you could move into one of Anthropologie's well-styled window displays? Us too. While our dreams of napping under a papier-mâchéd flutter of butterflies might not be feasible, these in-store Anthropologie workshops with local artisans are the next best thing. Last week, the ladies of Botany Flowers filled this Anthropologie location with organic wildflowers from Silver Lake Farms, a local grower whose flowers are now sold at their new Pasadena shop. Workshop-goers enjoyed a hand's-on floral arranging class that focused on seasonal flowers - new local varieties bloom every single month of the year! We love seeing this fresh explosion of tiered greens and blooms in one of our favorite stores, along with charming handwritten details by Goldpress Paper. Silver Lake Farms grows an idyllic mix of organic wildflowers and decorative weeds on their sustainable one-acre farm not far from Downtown LA. Their dreamy acre is, in their own words, filled with "layers and layers of soft pastel petals in deep violets, blues and pinks...delicate dreamy ranunculus and oh so fragrant sweet peas...antique wildflowers, larkspur, Queen Anne’s lace, soft grasses, airy branches." Don't you wish this story was scratch-and-sniff? We asked Botany to share a few floral arranging tips with us and their notes are quite useful! Take their advice to heart, gather a few seasonal blooms and get to filling your home with gorgeous arrangements!
