Planting Presence: Crowns in Bloom

Join us on Saturday, July 11th at Violets in Bloom in Elkins Park, PA for a creative wellness experience that celebrates growth, self-expression, and the healing power of nature.

Crowns in Bloom invites participants to decorate a planter, then create a living arrangement to take home. Through creativity, conversation, and hands-on planting, we'll explore themes of identity, resilience, and flourishing in community.

No gardening experience is necessary—just come ready to create, connect, and leave with a one-of-a-kind planter and a renewed sense of joy.
