Tisha Ashwood then led a great flower-arranging class where we all got to try our hand at our own small arrangement.
Some of Tisha's tips:
- Make sure to strip an low-lying leaves from your stems. If they sit in water they will rot.
- Place the flowers so there is a visible "triangle" from each side of your arrangement
- Use Flower foam (found at craft supply stores or Walmart) and soak it in water beforehand
- Two favorite products: Chrysal Leafshine and Dynamite fertilizer
