INSTRUCTOR
Robin Ambrosino is a Master Gardener, grower, forager, arranger, and lifelong plant enthusiast. Gatherings began as a hobby that morphed into her part-time “joy job.” Throughout the growing season, she hosts an honor-system flower stand at the end of her driveway on Daniels Road and offers bi-weekly bouquet subscriptions to individuals and local businesses. She also designs bridal party flowers and custom arrangements for birthdays, retirements, and other celebrations. She believes in the power of plants as an antidote to our overstimulating modern world and enjoys helping others tap their creativity with the beauty of flowers.
