What’s happening in June for the Posey Box

Lots is happening this month, and we want you to know all about it! 

We’re celebrating June by building a beautiful, climbing rose vine. The Posey Box will show you how to create the various stages of a rose blooming on a vine: buds, just about to open, full bloom, plus an old bloom whose petals look like they’re about to fall off. This month’s focus is on the foliage. We have an updated mitered leaf technique that we can’t wait to share, as well as a new way to use crepe paper to wrap your stem. It’s going to make your life so much easier! I personally walked away learning three new techniques that I never used before, and I can’t wait to implement them in my flower orders this summer!

I hope you will join Kate and myself for our Posey Box Workshop where we walk you step by step through the process of making the roses, buds, and leaves. We are dedicating three hours to this workshop because there’s so many components to learn in this month's tutorial. Make sure to sign up at least five business days before class starts, so that we have plenty of time to send you the supplies and materials for you to make the roses with us from the comfort of your home. This month’s workshop is going to be on Saturday, June 13th at 2 pm - 5 pm PST. 

We also have The Posey Box Study Group where Kate will teach the group how to put the vine together. So, if you are a member of the June box, make sure to have several roses, buds, and foliage stems ready to go, because when the meeting is done you will have a finished rose vine to show off on Instagram and to your friends!

Additionally, during the month of June, I will be filming my large peony wall flowers, and I can’t wait to share this tutorial with you in July! I promise it’s going to be a lush and beautiful piece that you will want to hang in your home. Kate is going to show you her version of her beautiful Itoh peony wall flower. It’s a much simpler peony, but stunning in its details. Check out our Peony Pinterest page for inspiration!
