Workshops: Classes Rooted in Artistry

Our floral and container workshops are intimate, hands-on experiences designed for anyone who loves creativity, fun, and seasonal beauty. These niche gatherings provide a personal touch, allowing you to explore design in a relaxed, inspiring environment. Whether you're crafting a lush centerpiece or a unique container arrangement, you'll learn techniques and tips while enjoying a creative and engaging atmosphere. Perfect for anyone looking to unwind, try something new, and bring a bit of nature’s beauty into their space. No experience needed.

Our full seasonal calendar features workshop classics like seasonal containers and holiday wreaths, plus new classes in ikebana, foraged florals, and European hand-tied bouquets. Note that class space is limited to ensure exceptional experiences.

Our floral workshops are led by fleurdetroit’s very own Laura Daluga, AIFD—a fourth-generation floral designer, creator of Detroit’s annual floral sculpture show, Art in the Elements, and fleur event installation specialist extraordinaire. Our garden workshops are led by Tiffany Yeokum, who has been with fleurdetroit for over a decade, with assistance from members of our retail garden team.

Summer

Summer Containers
A fan-favorite class! Our Summer Container class is the first garden class of the season where you get to play in the soil, building your own personal planting in a fiber pot with all your favorite summer plants. Pro tip: measure an existing porch container you have, and our design team will provide you with the correct fiber pot size to plant in. That way, you’ll be able to simply drop your planting into your porch container when you get home.

Fall Containers
In this class, you’ll design a custom porch container using a rich mix of fall grasses, rare kale varieties, and vibrant ornamental peppers.

Found & Foraged: Sculptural Florals
New for 2026, our Found & Foraged class encourages you to look beyond traditional cut floral arrangements for inspiration. In this class, you will work in a more sculptural, material-driven way. A variety of local grasses and dried elements will guide the design, resulting in something more structured. This class leans into the concept of being wildly intentional rather than traditionally arranged.
