It is so rewarding to put together an arrangement of foliage and flowers that all come from the garden. I had 7 people in my workshop and it was amazing to see 8 beautiful arrangements completely comprised of foliage and flowers that were cut straight from the OSU Learning gardens. I think the participants all had fun and learned something, I know I did!
My list of potential perennials, shrubs, and annuals that I hope to one day incorporate into a large scale cutting garden keeps getting longer and longer! Not only is the material local and fresh, but it is more unique than anything you can find in a flower shop or in the wholesale cut flower market. The possibilities are endless.
