Everyone is desperate to learn the secrets of designing with dahlias. That’s what Sandra Sigman of Les Fleurs in Andover discovered last year when she announced her Dahlia Workshop Under the Stars, to be staged at the Stevens-Coolidge Place in North Andover.
To play into the fairytale mood, Sigman crafted a bower of vines to arch over the entryway, brightened by water-tubed dahlias tucked into the branches. Festive lights were strung inside the structure to brighten the ambiance, while benches holding ingredients waited for the group to find their mojo with dahlias.
Why dahlias? “Do you know any other flower with so much variety in size and color palette?” asks Sigman.
