A Growing Structure

Two Oasis BioLine BioWave forms on the wooden box support the floral arrangement. Short wooden sticks have been inserted into drilled holes. Biodegradable Oasis BioLine twine runs from stick to stick, forming an open framework with pinecones wedged between them. The orange flowers of Lilium ‘Menton’ contrast with the tones of the wood and twine. Whole stems of Asparagus densiflorus are woven through the structure. Fresh and dried Gleichenia polypodioides (coral fern) add varied textures and soften the transition to the lid. The visible structure is thus a fully integrated part of the design.

Without a trail

This temporary, floating memorial is made entirely of plant-based and biodegradable materials: skeleton leaves, dried flowers, and homemade natural glue made from flour.

As a symbolic gesture of remembrance and letting go, the object is placed on the water. It floats there for a while, after which it slowly absorbs water, sinks, and breaks down naturally. Here, transience does not represent loss, but rather forms an essential part of the design: something beautiful may exist temporarily and then return to nature.

Simplicity

The base of this arrangement is a wooden plank, to which Oasis Bio Table Deco is attached and filled with Oasis Renewal Bricks. Tufts of hydrangea (Hydrangea ‘Royal Grandeur’) were inserted into this very compactly. A number of Chasmanthium grasses were also incorporated, each attached to a small round wooden disc. These discs are scattered throughout the arrangement, and bereaved family members can write a phrase or a name on them.

Modern teardrop

The base of this arrangement is a teardrop-shaped piece of flexible plywood, onto which pieces of paper have been glued. The teardrop shape has been further embellished with rustic wire. Typha leaves and chrysanthemum flowers have been inserted into the Oasis Renewal Bricks. The flowers of Clematis ‘Amazing Kyiv’ are mounted on plastic tubes. The paper glued to the base is incorporated into the arrangement: small leaves were cut from the paper and glued onto the structure.

Special

In this arrangement, a structure made of insulation tubing, wire, and tape provides a unique base. The structure is covered with Oasis Terra Brick, creating a natural effect. Two sizes of Oasis Biolit Bio Bowl are attached to it. Geertje then arranged warm, colorful flowers at various heights in the Oasis, including Rosa ‘Vuvuzela’, Lilium ‘Fairy Morning’, Chrysanthemum ‘Kalimba Salmon’, Ammi majus ‘Green Mist’, and Chasmanthium.

Fragile

Two small logs are attached beneath a beautiful branch. Holes were then drilled into the logs, through which wire was threaded. The wires are bent upward and serve as a base for attaching the tubes. At the top, round wooden discs are strung on an aluminum wire and secured to the top. Beautiful, delicate flowers have been arranged in the tubes. Materials used include Clematis ‘Amazing Miami,’ Veronica ‘Fascination,’ and Chasmanthium.
