  • Botanical Specimens 101

    I absolutely loved this class!!! I had no idea that the French General, a real gem, was basically right in my backyard. Kari, the owner and host of the class, was such a joy and the ultimate hostess. She created a warm and intimate classroom right inside her store. She had everything that a participant needed and she even curated a beautiful lunch and afternoon spread. Ann Woods, the teacher of the workshop, was equally as amazing. She was patient, funny and encouraging of every student. The instructions and guidance that she provided were perfect. I can't wait to take more classes at French General including more of Ann Woods and her workshops!
