The Hamptons aren’t just known for their beaches; they’re famous for their gorgeous gardens and bloom-filled backyards. If you’ve been itching to tap into your inner florist this summer, here’s your perfect starting point: an afternoon of Artful Arrangements: Book Event, featuring top Florist Emily Thompson and Potter Frances Palmer at the Madoo Conservancy in Sagaponack. It’s happening on Saturday, June 29, at 12 PM, and this event is the floral fantasy you didn’t know you needed.

The vibe is wildflower arranging, artsy garden inspiration, and real talk with two iconic women—Emily Thompson, floral designer to the White House, and Frances Palmer, a ceramicist whose dreamy pottery has graced the pages of Vogue and The New York Times. These two are legends in the creative world, and now they’re teaming up to host a gorgeous flower demo and chic garden hangout—right here in the Hamptons.

Here’s what your afternoon will look like:

• A live flower arranging demo with Emily + Frances
• A garden party-style book signing (tickets include both authors’ books!)
• A chance to hang out in one of the most magical gardens on the East End

Tickets are $200, including signed copies of Emily Thompson Flowers and Frances Palmer: Life with Flowers, but Madoo members also score 10% off! It’s the perfect event if you’re into flowers, art, design, or just want to romanticize your life in the most aesthetically pleasing way possible.

And if you haven’t visited the Madoo Conservancy before, it’s a gorgeous, historic garden created by artist and writer Robert Dash back in the ’60s, and today it’s a total hidden gem in Sagaponack. So call up your girls and pick out your cutest floral dress, because this is the kind of event you’ll be talking about all summer.
