Drop-in. Design. Do it.
Make sure we're open! This event is seasonal - Spring and Fall on Thursdays 3-7. (We've changed the name and day of this event over the years. We think we got it right now.)
What is it?
Open Studio is a self-directed flower design event. It’s super casual. Bring a vase or buy one from us. We have the flowers, the corkscrew, and everything else you need for a magical afternoon of floral enchantment.
Come solo for some alone time with flowers, or bring friends for a unique social outing. Please give us a heads up for groups of four or more so we can save a table for you. If you have eight or more, give us a call or email for a private class/flower party.
How it works
Just drop in. We sell flowers by the stem. You pick them out. Stay and design your arrangement or wrap them up to take home. Ellen will be available for critique and advice. Order in advance to have a subscription or single arrangement ready to pick up.
Open Studio is a great mid-week get-away. Practice what you learn at our classes, prep for Bloom Battle, make your weekly arrangement, de-stress, so many possibilities. The flowers will change each week so you can make something different every time.
When Is It?
Thursdays 3:00PM - 7:00PM Spring and Fall. Check our Classes and Events for the next scheduled Open Studio.

What happens when our customer gives us the wrong date for their event? If they call during Open Studio looking for their flowers, we're on the mofo (to paraphrase Jules Winnfield).
Ellen calmly assured the customer over the phone we would make it to their event in time for them to present their awardees with flowers - then she hit the panic button. (The event had already begun!)
Bloom Battlers Chris Vaeth and Heather Zampier, along with LoCoFlo designer Jess, answered the bell. Chris was on-site for his wedding consultation, Heather is a regular at Open Studio (it's her mid-week, self-prescribed therapy), and Jess was working on the LoCoFlo mural.
Heather dropped a handful of stock, Jess slid off her ladder, Chris said "my wedding plans can wait, it's flower time!" (minor blog hyperbole). Ellen directed her impromptu, pro-am, all-star team to crank out three spectacular presentation centerpieces in a flash.
Eric revved up the LoCoRoll, and was on his way. A LoCoFlo miracle!
And that was the day Heather and Chris became local flower folk heroes.
