The season has officially switched and so has our focus, from soaking up the sun and beaches to keeping cozy and getting in a festive mood. The women of The Wild Bunch are helping to make that transition more colourful with their series of autumn-themed floral workshops. Starting October 5th, co-founders Nassi Soofi Siavash and Alexandra Schulze are leading four workshops utilizing seasonal flowers, foliage and other materials in all their glory.
