Petals & Poetry - A Valentine’s Day Experience to Remember


Petals & Poetry: A Sold-Out Floral Workshop in San Diego

Valentine’s Day this year felt different — slower, more intentional, and deeply connected.

Petals & Poetry, our Valentine’s floral workshop in San Diego, officially sold out — and the evening was a beautiful reminder that people are craving more than just traditional plans. They’re craving meaningful, interactive experiences.


Hosted at Treehouse in Sorrento Mesa, the event blended floral design, poetry, and collective dining into one thoughtfully curated gathering.


A Floral Workshop in San Diego Designed for Connection

Petals & Poetry wasn’t just a flower arranging class. It was an immersive, guided experience.

Guests were welcomed into a warm café setting and guided step by step through creating their own floral arrangement. No experience was needed — just a willingness to slow down and create.


Each ticket included:

  • A finished floral arrangement to take home

  • All flowers, vase, and supplies

  • A Love Letter Bar with vintage paper and wax seals

  • A short inspirational poetry reading

  • Curated poetry books for reflection

  • Refreshments from Treehouse

The goal wasn’t perfection — it was presence.


Collective Dining Meets Creative Experience - TreeHouse Cafe

One of the most special parts of the evening was hosting the workshop inside Treehouse, a collective dining space in Sorrento Mesa.

Treehouse offers elevated comfort food, artisanal beverages, and a welcoming atmosphere designed for gathering. The natural wood textures, open seating, and relaxed environment created the perfect backdrop for an interactive activity like this.

Guests were able to enjoy refreshments while creating, adding a communal and celebratory energy to the space.

Collective dining spaces like Treehouse are redefining how San Diego gathers — blending food, conversation, and shared experiences into something more dynamic than a traditional restaurant setting.

Why San Diego Is Leaning Into Interactive Activities

More and more, people are searching for:

  • Unique experiences in San Diego

  • Creative date night ideas

  • Interactive activities beyond dinner

  • Workshops that feel meaningful

Petals & Poetry met that moment.

Instead of crowded reservations or rushed gifts, guests chose to spend two hours creating something with their hands, writing love notes, and being fully present.

The sold-out event confirmed what we already believed: people want experiences that feel intentional and memorable.

More Workshops to Come

At Sage & Autumn, floral design has always been about more than flowers. It’s about creating space — for connection, creativity, and appreciation of the present moment.

Petals & Poetry was a reflection of that original heart, and we’re excited to continue offering more floral workshops in San Diego throughout the year.
