Getting Started with Cut Flowers is presented by Monica Gruler Farrier, Master Gardener and owner of Gruler Gardens in Petoskey, a local source of native plants, cut flowers, and handcrafter art inspired by nature. The class is held at the North Central Michigan College Health & Science Building in room 333. Do you dream of a home filled with vases of beautiful flowers?
