Creations from the Garden: Growing Plants for the Art of Flower ArrangingFrom spring's beautiful budding shrubs, garden irises, and peonies to winter's bare branches with their architectural forms, the garden provides plant materials throughout the seasons. Trees, shrubs, vines, and grasses in my garden are pictured alongside flower arrangements created from these plants. The designs include the ikebana style of Japanese flower arranging and garden club traditional or creative designs, both for home and for flower shows.
