my mom is a big a gardener and a big flower arranger...i loved helping her with both when i was younger...
now, we often arrange together and i love it. she really is a master...she knows all about classic forms, but has a sense of the wild that i love.
recently, we were asked to do an arrangement for a gathering of ladies and we each cut things from our own yards, and from a few friends'. we arranged in a silver container, and used oasis- but, we don't use it often anymore...actually, i do not use it at all...
nonetheless, we had a fun day arranging flowers on my porch and visiting...
