Join the Delaware Valley Chapter of Ohara Ikebana for a weekend of extraordinary flower arrangements. The Open Reception and Exhibitions are free and open to the public.

Ikebana, also known as the “way of flowers,” is the art of Japanese flower arrangement and is subtle, sensitive, sophisticated, and meditative. It utilizes flowers, leaves, and branches, as well as unexpected and/or unconventional materials.

An exquisite display of Ikebana arrangements designed by talented Ohara Ikebana artists, teachers, and students will be exhibited. Ohara School of Ikebana will also be holding flower arranging classes during the exhibit.
