Gathered From the Garden

A Thanksgiving Centerpiece Arranging Demonstration

Tuesday, November 17, 2026
7:00-9:00 PM

Limited to 25 seats 

Perch Home
89 Baker Street
Maplewood, NJ 07040

Join us for a relaxed fall evening of beautiful flowers, creativity, and hot apple cider at Perch Home.

Using a mix of easy-to-find store-bought flowers and seasonal foliage you may still have growing in your own backyard, Erin Williams will demonstrate how to create a beautiful, garden-inspired Thanksgiving centerpiece while sharing practical techniques you can use to create your own at home.

Whether you're hosting Thanksgiving, bringing flowers to someone else's table, or simply love having something beautiful in your home, you'll leave with practical tips, fresh inspiration, and the confidence to create a centerpiece that feels special without feeling overly complicated.

During the evening, you'll learn:

• How to choose store-bought flowers and combine them with seasonal foliage from your own backyard

• How to condition your flowers for the longest vase life

• Flower arranging techniques and floral mechanics for creating a lush, garden-inspired centerpiece

• How to get the scale and proportions right for a dining table

There will be plenty of time for questions throughout the evening, and one guest will head home with the finished centerpiece. This demonstration-style class is designed to leave you with practical techniques and the confidence to create a beautiful Thanksgiving arrangement at home.

Please note: if you don't click the box under your email to sign up for confirmation emails you won't get any updates/reminders on the class nor any handouts sent after the class with recommendations (and that would be sad!).
