A blog about the theory and practice of flower arranging as well as about adopting a greener lifestyle.

Introduction

I’m a huge fan of flowers. There’s just something about them that makes me feel good, and I’m always looking for ways to incorporate them into my life. That’s why when I learned about flower arranging as a way to increase your health, it was an instant hit with me! In this blog post, we’ll talk about how you can start your own pesticide-free flower garden with some easy tips and tricks.

Introduction

A flower arrangement is an art form that involves the presentation of cut flowers, also called bouquets. This presentation typically takes place in a vase or similar receptacle, and is often made with a specific type of container in mind. The floral designer decides how to combine the flowers and their containers to create a pleasing design that suits his or her aesthetic sense and complements the particular occasion on which it will be used.

One thing you may not know about arranging flowers is that it can make you healthier! Studies have shown that people who participate in activities like gardening or painting are less likely to experience stress-related illnesses such as high blood pressure and heart disease than those who do not engage in these activities regularly. In addition, practicing flower arranging has been shown to boost self-esteem while improving one’s sense of well-being overall (Hudson). In other words: Flower arrangement improves your physical health because it helps reduce stress levels; it increases mental health because participating in creative pursuits has been shown repeatedly to increase positive emotions such as happiness; and finally, by spending more time outdoors with nature we can all improve our relationship with Mother Earth herself (Watson).

What are the benefits of growing your own flowers?

Growing your own flowers has a number of benefits.

  • You can grow flowers that are native to your area. If you live on the East Coast, you may want to grow daffodils and tulips; if you live in California or Florida, perhaps orchids would suit your climate better. The list goes on!
  • You can grow flowers that are in season when they’re most beautiful. When it’s springtime, try planting some irises or peonies; come late summer, mix some zinnias with cosmos for a cool flower display that will continue into fall!
  • You can also grow flowers that are suited to your soil and water supply. If there is not much rainfall where you live (and even if there is), succulents might be better suited than cacti—or vice versa!

How can I make sure my flowers are pesticide-free?

You can be sure that your flowers are pesticide-free by buying organic flowers or growing them yourself. If you’re purchasing locally grown flowers, make sure to ask the merchant for advice on how to grow pesticide-free flowers. You can also choose local flowers, since these aren’t transported from far away.

Choosing Flowers

For a floral arrangement, it’s important to choose flowers that are in season. You’ll find the best selection of flowers at your local farmers’ market or flower shop and they will be more affordable than if you buy them out-of-season.

Fruit trees and shrubs also make great additions to an arrangement (in fact, they’re called “ornamental edibles”). Just remember that fruit trees need space to grow—don’t just stick them into any old vase!

Tips and Tricks

  • To make your arrangements look more full, and thus to appear more aesthetically pleasing, you should use a large container.
  • Use a vase or container that is on the larger side: it will help to fill in any gaps between flowers and branches and will create an illusion of abundance.
  • If you’re using glass containers, make sure they’re large enough to accommodate all of the flowers and foliage without overcrowding them. If they are too small, the arrangement will look cramped or messy—not at all what we want!
