It is now a popular living art form that emphasizes the harmony of simple linear construction and the appreciation of the delicate beauty of flowers and natural materials.

In our class, we will complete an arrangement, allowing students to gain hands-on experience and explore their creativity. Sponsored by Friends of the West Windsor Library.
