Usually the log arrangements are all about texture and I use very few flowers; after all texture reigns in the forests.
But for this memorial service, I learned that the woods and flowers had been favorites of the client’s father. So for once, flowers prevailed.
Come join us for this hands-on class and be inspired by the botanical treasures of the Pacific Northwest! Begin this textural arrangement with lichen-covered branches and moss. Mix in seedpods and berries, miniature artichokes and eggplants, lush foliage, succulents, fragrant herbs and seasonal flowers. Gather ideas to express your creativity and learn to work with natural materials found in your own garden. You will take your creation home!

Hand-tied bouquets have been super popular the last decade. Here are some fun alternative ideas:
flowers and feathers!
woodland bouquet; very detailed with texture
Cold frames are magical: they offer a perfect transition for seedlings that are grown indoors or in greenhouses, before the young plants have to face the daily elements of Mother Nature. They also are used to extend the growing season of vegetables.
My eye caught a miniature version of an old fashioned cold frame and it seemed like a perfect ‘container’ for an early spring woodland arrangement.
Vintage style, vintage dresses, vintage vases,… vintage is IN this year!
Old bottles of various sizes and types make an interesting and imaginative collection to fill with spring flowers. A few of these vases clustered in the center of a round table or a selection in the middle of long narrow tables look fabulous! And how about decorating a mantle with a variety of them?
