Karen started by covering important basics on choosing flowers and keeping them healthy then she talked about how to support the taller flowers. A key tip was that inserting foundation items at angles to each other creates a sort of natural grid to support subsequent layers.

 
 
 
 

It was a very successful day with participating members thrilled with their results.
