It's that time of the year... the time
that everyone at Queensberry looks forward to the whole year...
It's time to celebrate SAKURA, also
known as Cherry Blossoms! Did you know that cherry blossom viewing,
know as "O-Hanami", is commonly practiced in Japan? Once
the cherry trees come close to full bloom, people bring out their picnic
blankets and picnic baskets, sit under the cherry trees and spend quality
time with the fleeting cherry blossoms that only last for up to two weeks.
This year, we will kick start our Sakura
Festival on April 12th and we will continue to color the shop in PINK until
April 18th. Come check out our cute shops filled with pink bouquets
and special arrangements that will only be available during our 2nd Annual
Sakura Festival!
April's flower lesson theme is "Cherry
Blossoms". We will incorporate branches of cherry trees and
cherry-blossom colored flowers. Our regular mini bouquets and rose
bouquet lessons will also incorporate flowers in light - dark pink.
