One thing we love and admire about our buyers is their ability to take local flowers and turn them into amazing installments, centerpieces, and bouquets. Truly, we love seeing what you create with our flowers!
Over the past few years the floral industry has seen a move away from floral foam towards more sustainable alternatives. The Flower Collective is proud to carry two of these eco-friendly floral mechanics on our Rooted Farmers shop!
Below is a centerpiece that we designed using local flowers along with palm leaf trays and an Oshun Pouch. Both the trays and the pouch are biodegradable and home compostable!
To create this arrangement, we first used a skewer to make small holes in the Oshun Pouch. Then we hydrated the pouch in a bucket of clean water for 10 minutes. During this time, the pouch expands and becomes ready to hold stems. We then secured the pouch to the palm leaf tray. Finally, we created our design by layering locally-grown eucalyptus, China asters, lisianthus, zinnias, cerinthe, and forget-me-nots.
