Florets - Floral Quote - # 93 - by Selina Lake

"Hanging foliage wreaths on the front door is a tradition I love to do in the run-up to Christmas. Typically, wreaths were made from evergreens, which symbolize strength, but they can also be made from an assortment of flowers, leaves, fruits and twigs constructed in a ring shape. I like making wreaths in every season: Easter wreaths in pastel colours with spring flowers, fragrant rose wreaths for summer parties, autumn wreaths celebrating the rich tones and, of course, Christmas wreaths for welcoming guests to your home. If you are keen to try something different this year you could bundle together a simple posy of pine sprigs and tie it with a ribbon bow, then hang it upside down from the door knocker."

Floral Media - How to Make a Summer Wreath with Sarah Raven

Hello everyone! I am slowly getting back to posting on my blog even though the work on the house and garden will carry on for a while longer. You know how it is - work always takes longer than planned.

I would like to start with presenting a short video with Sarah Raven creating a fabulous giant summer wreath. If you don't have room for such a large wreath you can make a smaller one using the same flowers.

Sarah Raven shows us how to make a huge summer wreath using a large ring of floral foam and an abundance of summer flowers.

Sarah Raven is well known in the UK for presenting gardening programs on television, writing lots of books about gardening and plants, teaching floral workshops and flower arranging courses, giving talks and demonstrations and also for being an enormously successful business women running a plant, seed and gardening internet business.

Have a Great Floral Day!

I will be back next week with more floral delights.
