The Amherst Garden Club is pleased to begin the holiday season with its annual tradition of a floral design workshop. This year, we are excited to invite Michael Derouin, floral artist and educator to present at our November meeting. Our November meeting is always a popular event!

Michael’s career has been shaped by decades in luxury floral design. He creates refined floral compositions for private clients and offers thoughtful, hands-on instructions to floral professionals and enthusiasts alike — helping to define, refine, or rediscover their creative perspective.
​Derioun’s work is guided by nature-edited with purpose, composed with restraint, and shaped to preserve the quiet integrity of the botanicals​.

Whether designing or teaching, his focus is the same: to create an experience that remains long after the flowers fade.

Michael will demonstrate four unique floral designs during his presentation — two for autumn and two for the upcoming holiday season. Each of these designs will be raffled, so make sure you have some pocket cash! The money raised will go into our club’s Charitable Fund supporting the Amherst Garden Club’s charitable endeavors.
