Purpose

Founded in 1964 and Chartered in 1974.

Ikebana  (Japanese Flower Arranging) is a disciplined art form in which nature and humanity are brought together.

The Purpose of the Arizona Chapter of Ikenobo Ikebana is to bring together a group of people who love the beauty of flowers and wish to display them in an artistic, disciplined manner. We bring a bucket of cut flowers and arrange them to re-create a naturalistic scene. We follow Ikenobo guidelines and leave with smiles on our faces.

New members are always welcome.

Rose Garden Workshop with Sensei Marylou Coffman

All agreed that the weather could not have been more perfect for the Rose Garden Workshop. The workshop was held outdoors at the Mesa Community College Rose Garden. Sensei, Marylou Coffman gave students a tour of the garden. Marylou is an expert in Roses. She is the curator for the MCC Rose Garden and combines her love of roses with Ikebana. She provided students with a wealth of information about roses, their history, how they were named and other fascinating tidbits. Students found the color and layout of the rosebeds that were created in honor of our armed forces particularly beautiful.

During the tour, students were given the opportunity to choose their own roses for the Moribana arrangement. This proved to be a daunting task since there were so many beautiful flowers to choose from. Extra line material was provided by the students and the Sensei.

Marylou is an exceptional Sensei. Her love of form and the flowers themselves carried over into her lesson to assist students in creating exceptionally beautiful arrangements.

The beautiful setting, underneath a huge shade tree filled with the fragrance of roses and the cool breeze , combined with our gracious and knowledgeable Sensei to make this workshop a wonderful experience for all.

The MCC Rose Garden has more than 350 varieties of roses and is the largest public garden in the Southwest.
