Toole County MSU Extension partnered with Shelby Floral and Gift, a local flower shop in Shelby, to provide a flower arrangement workshop. There were 12 attendees from three local towns, Shelby, Sunburst, and Cut Bank, with attendees having many different levels of experience. Local florist Nicolle Anderson led the workshop. She instructed the group on how to create beautiful hanging arrangements similar to those seen in Glacier Park. Participants learned how to prepare and care for the baskets and how to place flowers. At the end of the workshop each participant was able to take their hanging basket home. This workshop was a great way to incorporate a partnership between a local business and MSU Extension, and it created an opportunity for community members to meet, learn, and network while doing a fun, hands-on activity.
