She cuts less flowers late in fall so there will be plenty of flowers for us to paint as well as views from Lamborn Mesa. Holly will have some bouquet’s for purchase, but let me know in advance if you’d like some flowers so she has some available for us. She has small bouquets for $16 and larger bouquets for $35 or $64. September 26th TBA - I’m still finalizing this one sorry! It’ll be somewhere with fall colors |
