Tenderness with zest
An Oasis sphere rests on a beautiful soft pink vase. For stability, a tonkin stick is inserted into the sphere down into the water-filled vase. A border of grasses is attached around the top edge of the vase with double-sided Oasis tape, which is then finished with ribbon in a matching shade. Solomon's seal (Polygonatum), Paeonia ‘Claire de Lune’ and yellow dill (Anethum graveolens) are then inserted into the Oasis sphere at different heights. Nostalgic dandelions and dandelion seed heads add that extra bit of spice and tenderness to the soft color palette.
Green as grass
Lovely and oh so summery: various corn stook-bound summer bouquets. It starts with the fresh grasses, with the summer flowers being incorporated at the same height each time. Finally, a border of grass is tied around it. This creates fresh summer bouquets, an atmospheric decoration for a summer garden dinner. Materials used: Panicum, dill (Anethum graveolens), sunflower, aquilegia, and various native plants from the garden or roadside.
