Call Me Marigold is a small, local, eco-conscious florist, based out of Stamford, CT. Each of our custom arrangements are seasonal and one-of-a-kind, and, during the ~7 month local growing season, are made with flowers and foliage that are locally grown, right here in Connecticut! Owner and designer, Elior Coleman, sources the highest quality and freshest flowers from the Connecticut Flower Collective, a cooperative of CT flower farmers who are committed to using sustainable and eco-friendly growing practices, other neighborhood growers, and even some from her private garden in her own back yard.

At Call Me Marigold, we don't use pollutive foam or plastic packaging, we recycle and reuse whatever we can, and we compost all our stems. We try our best to care for and respect Mother Earth in all we do. We are obsessed with flowers at Call Me Marigold, and we hope that when you get an arrangement from us, you'll feel the same.

In this class, children will participate in weekly guided art projects; learning about new materials each session through hands-on art making and exploratory-based creative play. Lessons start with a guided, seasonally-based field trip amongst the Botanical Center grounds; where children will be introduced to the day’s lesson theme while out in the field – discovering and gathering both inspiration and materials from their outing. A corresponding creative project will follow, where a variety of artistic and sensory-engaging materials will be used, such as: paint, paper mâché, glue, collage, sculpture and building – helping the children to discover an artistic repertoire as well as build an appreciation for their surroundings and the natural world. This is very much a process-focused class where children are encouraged to get outside, play, explore, experiment, create and have fun!
