If you are a gardener, you may already be skilled at floral arranging, but there’s always something new to learn. There are classes online, and local shops sometimes offer adult classes, especially during the holidays. Thanksgiving will be even more special when the centerpiece is your own design. A fresh winter bouquet featuring materials gleaned from snowy woods and delivered to a housebound friend brings the smell, color, and emotion of nature into their home. You can design for competition and enter your creations into local county fairs. Maybe you’ll win a blue ribbon! If your home décor is modern, “Ikebana,” the Japanese art of flower arranging, maybe something to investigate.
P.S. Treasure hunt at flea markets, estate sales, and local auctions when searching for unique and inexpensive vessels for your natural works of art.
