Hello flower lover
Welcome to my world of flowers, floral art and floral designing.
A Little Bit About The “Why” Of This Website
I remember what it was like “before the internet” trying to find useful information to help me explore the world of floral design.
I don’t come from a floristry background.
I didn’t have access to relatives who might also have a love of floral design.
When I first started out in this passion, I had to find a floral design group that held meetings somewhere near my home.
This wasn’t easy as I live on a farm.
So the first few years were a hard slog, trying to find inspiration, clear instructions for techniques and someone to ask when I got completely stuck with a design.
Sound familiar?
These days, with the abundance of information available to us via the internet, it might seem easier to follow a flower passion without the need for a group to which you belong and attend meetings.
How Do You Find the Right Information For You?
I think it’s actually harder these days to find information – we have internet information overload!
Why?
- There’s just too much information. How do you find the right information and find it quickly?
- Instructions via videos can be unclear. How often have you watched a video and not understood what you should do?
- We have no time for regular meetings. Few of us have the luxury of being able to commit to travel to and attend a meeting, even once a month.
- You may not want to attend meetings. Many of us learn better on our own and are happy that way.
- Design groups can have a single style focus. What can you do when you want to explore different areas of floral design to those of the group?
- Are you interested in floral art for competition or pleasure? What happens when you just want to use flowers from your garden but the group is geared for competition or vice versa?
- We all need paced learning and experience. It’s definitely easier to take your time to learn about floral art. That’s not always what a formal floral art or garden club group wants to do!
Of course, there are some great things about groups.
First and foremost, they provide us with friends who share our passion for floral designs.
Secondly. they make us get out and about (in all kinds of weather).
And, of course, we benefit from the knowledge and experience of others in a one to one environment.
