Last wreath workshop is done for 2024 so made my own with the leftovers. I considered adding red berries but remembered they end up on shoes coming in the front door. I wanted a little color but I hesitate to add anything I’ll get sick of by February. Ribbon or no ribbon?

Here’s a little encouragement to say no to faux branches and berries and go natural this year. This wood bowl doesn’t need water and will@last through the new year. The kids made clove oranges and we filled in with cuttings from our Christmas tree, anise seed heads, and some leftover variegated oregonia sprigs from our outdoor planters. Not only does it look pretty but it smells divine!!! Great thing about cloves is they are naturally antibacterial so the oranges won’t rot. Don’t like cloves? Use pomegranates or some of your favorite ornaments in the place of oranges.

Another year, another winter planter installation at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church. This community/congregation is so wonderful, inclusive, and giving. I love that they continue to give me the opportunity to decorate the entrance for such a momentous and joyful time of year. We just did their Many Hands Many Meals packathon with my daughter’s soccer team. Always happy to have a reason to come back.

This week we had two classes with Minnetonka Community Ed. One for adults and one for adults and children. Everyone started with the same materials and they all ended with unique arrangements. No two were alike because no two people are alike. I love watching people create art. ❤️

The fog hangs low, the air stands still,
As if the Earth herself is held against her will.
A quiet hush, a breathless plea,
The world is waiting—so it seems to me.

She calls me gently, with a silent sigh,
To bring back life, to help her rise,
Yet here I stand, in sorrow’s grip,
A heart weighed down, a breath that slips.

What happened, I ask, to make her weep?
The wounds of time, so vast, so deep.
I long to understand, to find the way
To breathe again, to heal the day.

But in this stillness, I too am caught,
Held by shadows of a battle fought.
The Earth is waiting, yet I stand still,
My soul too heavy, my heart too chill.

Still, she calls, her voice a breath,
A whisper soft against the death
Of dreams once bright, now dimmed with grief—
Yet in her cry, there’s still belief.

Perhaps, I think, if I could start,
To move, to breathe, to heal my heart,
I might return the breath she seeks,
And help the world—restore the weak.

Does anyone else have a hard time eating a meal after they’ve spent so much time tasting and smelling it while they cook? A feeling of being full before you even eat. I sometimes feel that way with flowers and not wanting to work with the leftovers when events and workshops are done. Not every time but definitely around Valentine’s Day. I spend hours and hours with a certain assortment of flowers selecting, processing, teaching, cleaning up, etc. that by the time arrangements are made and workshops are complete I’m feeling kind of full. Often times I send leftovers home with whoever stays to help me clean up or throw them in a simple vase to hand off to custodians. I would rather someone else take them off my hands. Well, I didn’t have anyone who wanted the leftovers this week and they’ve been sitting in a bucket for a few days. I finally made myself a Valentine’s Day floral arrangement. Better late than never. Didn’t use it all as I’m still feeling a bit “full” and ended up with a cut and plop. Meh, you can’t be a pro every day.

Unpopular opinion: I love greenery in floral arrangements.

Floral trends are heavy on the flowers only styles and almost shunning arrangements with greens. Have you noticed this in your feed as much as I have?

While flower-only styles are absolutely lovely and certainly have their moment I am still a big fan of the contrast and texture that can be achieved by adding foliage.

If you have a cutting garden and you don’t have enough blooms foliage can add the bulk to wanted. Using greens also stretches your budget (especially during the foraging months). However, not all greens are the same.

It is important to consider how they’ll blend with the different textures and colors of the flowers you are using. For example: if I had used eucalyptus and other dusty grey blue foliage with this all white flower theme we wouldn’t see the dramatic contrast that we get with gardenia, nagi, ferns, and aralia.

In spite of the trends you see it is okay to go green!

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and it’s the busiest week in the floral world. Are you a pinks and reds on Valentine’s Day kind of person or do you prefer a different color palette?

I am working on some big changes in 2024 and have found myself going through photos from all the weddings and events I have done over last 15 years. It has been fun reliving these events. This reminds me how important it is to capture photos, even if they’re not going to end up on a wall or in a photo album or a website gallery. We can’t remember every aspect of our lives, nor every detail from important events, but we can take the time to look through the photos for glimpses into the past.
