          Oasis and a container of your own, appropriate to the class.(or this can be purchased )

          Flowers and foliage, again appropriate to the title of the arrangement (Think of what colours to use, and which will be complementary with each other.)

This will be a fun afternoon and we would like to believe that following this workshop many of the attendees will have the confidence, knowledge and skills to take part in the Annual Show on Saturday September 14^th (book it in your diary now!)
