On September 19, 2026, Bloom Together Arts Foundation celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival with a special floral design gathering filled with flowers, friendship, and seasonal traditions.
Inspired by the colors and feeling of early autumn, participants created arrangements using zinnias, forget-me-nots, maple leaves, scented rose geranium, and glossy abelia. The different textures, colors, and fragrances brought a beautiful seasonal character to each arrangement.
Before creating together, everyone gathered around the table to enjoy mooncakes and tea, sharing conversation and celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival together.
It was a warm afternoon where floral art and Chinese tradition came together—creating not only beautiful arrangements, but also a meaningful opportunity for friendship and community connection.
Flowers brought us together, and mooncakes and tea made the afternoon even sweeter. 🌸🥮🍵

On August 21, 2026, Bloom Together Arts Foundation welcomed a wonderful group of participants for a joyful floral design workshop in Fremont.
Many returning participants brought new friends, and people quickly connected as if they had known one another for years. The small room soon filled beyond capacity with flowers, conversation, laughter, and creative energy.
Because the modest workshop fee does not fully cover the cost of renting a larger venue, we were especially touched when two participants generously offered their backyards as possible spaces for future gatherings.
We are deeply grateful for this growing community and for the kindness, friendship, and support that continue to make Bloom Together truly feel like a place where people can create, connect, and bloom together.

On July 27, 2026, Bloom Together Arts Foundation hosted a summer floral design workshop in Fremont, bringing together community members for an inspiring morning of creativity and connection.
The workshop featured several beautiful flowers that had not been used in previous classes, including Zinnias 'Linen' and Blushing Lanterns. Their unique colors and textures inspired participants to explore new design ideas and create expressive floral arrangements.
A special highlight of the workshop was a demonstration by founder Hongyin Zhang using a handmade ceramic vase of her own design. Instead of relying on a kenzan or other floral mechanics, the arrangement was created by balancing the branches and flowers naturally within the vase, demonstrating the beauty of simplicity, structure, and the creative spirit of Sogetsu Ikebana.
After the workshop, participants gathered for lunch together, continuing conversations about flowers, art, and everyday life. The shared meal extended the sense of community and friendship that has become an important part of Bloom Together's workshops.
The event was filled with creativity, learning, and meaningful connections, reminding us that flowers have the power to bring people together and inspire joy.
