Bites, Delight and Beauty!
The evening begins with a lovely welcome champagne spritz or zero-proof cocktail from Jac & James Wine co. Followed by snacks and charcuterie bouquets while you meet our incredible hosts, Nori from @Nomnomnori and Chas from Wildflower Portland!
Then the fun begins as you start building your bouquet of fresh herbs, veggies, edible flowers, berries and more. Once you've built and wrapped your bouquet, you can select a card to drop it off to someone you love or bring it home to enjoy. Beautiful, useful and the perfect expression of Oregon's late summer bounty.
Meet your hosts:
Nori was born in Manila, Philippines, and lives with her fiancé and two basenjis in Portland, Oregon. Her passion for food comes from her travels and affinity to connect with other cultures through cuisine.

There's no reason professional can't also be fun. I grew up gardening with my Grandma outside of Portland, Oregon and that youthful curiosity & charisma has followed me my entire floral career. Before committing to floral design full time, I spent ten years as a Talent Agent in Los Angeles and beyond. Working in other floral shops, at the Portland Floral Market, and even a grocery store floral department, I finally had the courage to branch out onto my own- and I've never looked back.
