Author Hans Christian Anderson once said, “Just living is not enough… One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.” Meet the third component of Hans’ prescription for happiness in this program presented by local flower show judge and floral design expert Emily Bader.
In our part of Florida, flowers are abundant, greenery is often found just outside our front doors, and a vase or container can be pulled from a kitchen cupboard for an easy, mood-lifting arrangement. In this program, you’ll learn where to find local flowers, tactics to ensure their freshness, how to condition flowers and greens for long-lasting arrangements, and finally, how to determine where to place flowers in an arrangement using a few guidelines to assure a lovely design. Emily will also share her secrets to gorgeous simplicity and the tools and supplies she uses to make arranging easy for anyone.
