Wonderful program at our General Meeting on Sunday. Kathy Jentz, editor and publisher of
Washington Gardener Magazine spoke to us about hand-tied floral arrangements. Her presentation included how and where to buy, prep, and keep flowers fresh, what tools to use (and not use) and how to choose and decorate a container. It was nice to learn that there are no real rules for arranging and why odd numbers are preferred - it makes our brain look around at the whole display. We learned to form our choice of flowers into a tight rounded grouping bound with a rubber band, and we all went home with beautiful arrangements to adorn our homes.
Kathy has posted pictures of our event on her
Facebook page. She also has a blog:.
