It is a way to bring your outside garden inside to enjoy.
Cut floral arranging was the topic at this week's Brown Bag Lunch Series at the Allen County Children's Garden. Master Gardeners say there is no wrong way to make an arrangement and your flowers will last as long in water as they will on the stem. You don't need a fancy vase as you can use a wide range of things like baskets, jars, mugs, and even plastic bottles to put your cuttings into.
"Well if you have a really big container you don't want to use tiny little flowers unless you use a big mass of them and then maybe, maybe a big branch or something to help balance it so the scale would be balanced," explained Nanci Mistovich, Master Gardener Volunteer.
The brown bag lunch series meets on Tuesdays from 12:15 to 12:45 pm at the Children's Garden.
