Lavender Festival - Tussie Mussie Floral Design Workshop

In the spirit of lavender and Lavender Festival, join Lisa Weddel and learn to make a traditional Victorian tussie-mussie. Originally carried by women in the 19th century, these fragrant bouquets were designed to appeal to the senses. After discussing the history of tussie-mussies, design your own modern take on this traditional accessory. To complement the lavender, blend in other herbs such as rosemary, eucalyptus, statice and Limonium as a finishing touch for these tiny fragrant bouquets.
