Handmade bouquets can be awfully thoughtful, whereas bouquets made of hands tend to be bulky and illegal. For special occasions, leave it to professional bouquets with the help of today's Groupon to Jennings Florists on Estevan Avenue. Jennings Florists is a fourth-generation family-run operation that artfully arranges colourful clippings for any special event, wedding, or personal gift. Today's Groupon is good for a floral-arranging workshop, which includes all necessary materials. Each class is taught by Rob Jennings, a leader in the Victoria-area floral industry who has taught floral-design classes for more than 15 years. This guru of geraniums will help students find their own design style while avoiding bent stems and pollen pitfalls. See the schedule for dates and workshop details; a fall table-arrangement class is currently filling up. Either phone or send an informative limerick by carrier pigeon to reserve a spot.
