More Flower Arranging At Home Videos >

We thought to do this as we all adjust our lives so that we eventually defeat Covid-19.

A new series of "How To .." flower arranging videos to entertain, to inspire, to educate and remind ourselves of the beauty of this art.

These designs were created using available garden materials and everything we flower arrangers love to hoard, or using everyday objects in different, flower arranging, ways.

These flower arranging videos are for everyone who likes the idea of making floral designs at home, learning more about flower arranging or just being entertained.

Flower Arranging at Home - Design #1

Designed and Created by: Gill McGregor

 

Gill takes you through the steps to turn a single block of floral foam and sculptures it to achieve a stunning table design. More amazing is how Gill uses this same sculptured floral foam to create a completely different shaped design – reusing the same floral foam – in the next video!

 

While so many of us have to stay socially isolated.

 

We hope you enjoy watching these videos as much as Gill did making them; to help both entertain you during these times and to give you some ideas that you could arrange yourself.
