It is an art form that allows you to express your creativity. At The Boro's Floral Boutique, the MWC participated in a hands-on workshop where we explored this beautiful craft.<figure id="figure-1sl0bxxpzvlyssjawo"><img id="1sl0bxxpzvlyssjawo" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/b81vGynulyltMDy538zwWY5uv3DBBHXYZSuUmWtTe2qcHtg8H3PFqqCZqjha7661.jpg" alt="woman wearing black long-sleeved blouse and sunglasses standing near vehicle" title="woman wearing black long-sleeved blouse and sunglasses standing near vehicle" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 50% 20%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="50%" data-positiony="20%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/b81vGynulyltMDy538zwWY5uv3DBBHXYZSuUmWtTe2qcHtg8H3PFqqCZqjha7661.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 50% 20%;"></figure>The workshop was designed for all skill levels. All materials were provided so all we needed to bring was our enthusiasm.Flower arranging has many benefits beyond creating something beautiful. It can be a relaxing and meditative activity. Many people find that working with flowers helps them reduce stress and improve their mood. It is a wonderful way to take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life.<figure id="figure-8ri5bqd8dalysshgm3"><img id="8ri5bqd8dalysshgm3" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/14DuxB9wO7ruLy2OQKlszZeQvuSBBW4OXwdAENvUXf9s3U7aU143NjanxcwmxZH4.jpg" alt="woman in black blazer sitting on concrete bench" title="woman in black blazer sitting on concrete bench" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 45% 15%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="45%" data-positiony="15%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/14DuxB9wO7ruLy2OQKlszZeQvuSBBW4OXwdAENvUXf9s3U7aU143NjanxcwmxZH4.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 45% 15%;"></figure><h3>Look for future MWC workshops at The Boro's Floral Boutique</h3>If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us.
