Flower friends, I’ve been thinking about rituals that ground you to your place. Especially been on my mind since moving from NYC to NC.
So I’ve been making things with local farm flowers and yard clippings just for the experience lately. Totally different for me. I usually only create for event work honestly. I love the idea of becoming closer to a place thru it’s natural elements.
And then I thought, this would be even better if it was communal. So, I want to invite you to join me! Every-ish Friday I’m gonna try to post a piece made with only local ingredients. Designers and novices all welcome to make something in their place. Hash tag it #localflowerfriday and list your ingredients so we can learn from each other. Photo or video post, story, reel, whatever. Also feel free to share any thoughts as you reflect while making your piece- real-deal or lighthearted thoughts are both perfect.
It also can be something you’re making for work of course if you’re in the floral studio on Friday. 🙂 Can be simple as a bud vase for your kitchen or a large urn arrangement fit for a celebration! Thought it might be a fun way to intentionally reflect one one’s place as well as celebrate the beauty of local flowers. ✨
