Next month, the Bowen Center for the Arts in Dawson County will host its newest event, “Brunch and Bouquets”, allowing participants a chance to learn the art of floral arranging from a local interior designer. 

According to a press release from The Bowen, the event will be from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. on August 24 and will include a flower arranging demonstration and brunch courtesy of Bowen Center board members, Tracey Smith and Diane Houser. 

“Tracey will hold casual and fun discussions of a variety of floral bouquets during brunch followed by a make your very own take-home bouquet,” the release said. “Other features include Tracey’s flower bar which includes a complimentary vase, a pop-up garden and floral boutique.”
