At The Sunflower Farm in Beaverton the Pumpkin Fall Floral Workshop brings participants into the farm’s gardens to select homegrown blooms and learn floral‑design techniques from Ursula.

Highlights
Outing Highlights
Choose from homegrown blooms picked on the spot
Participants add to their arrangements from a wide variety of homegrown flowers harvested in the farm garden—no flown stems—so the palette and textures reflect the season at the source.
Step‑by‑step instruction from Ursula
The workshop includes a guided, instructed session led by Ursula Kressibucher who walks participants through the design process so that even beginners can build an original pumpkin bouquet.
A finished pumpkin bouquet to take home
All floral materials—including a mini white pumpkin—are provided and every participant leaves with a completed pumpkin arrangement and a pamphlet on building bouquets.
