Spring Garden Arrangement Workshop for the Alexandria Committee of the Colonial Dames!

What a wonderful day I had on Friday, March 1 with the women of the Alexandria Committee of the Colonial Dames at Gunston Hall! About 35 women were there for my demonstration of a Spring Garden arrangement.  A group of the ladies stayed after lunch to create their own Spring Gardens in a workshop.  We used larkspur, tulips, alstroemeria, daisy mums, baker's fern and galax leaves, as well as moss, pinecones, bark, butterflies and Easter eggs, to create mini-garden arrangements in a long, low herb garden container. Everyone did a beautiful job!  See Spring Garden Arrangement Recipe at the end.

  Betsy’s Spring Garden  Arrangement Recipe

Number of stems
8 Larkspur
8 Tulips
6 Alstroemeria
3 daisy mums
8 Galax Leaves
2 Baker’s Fern
Moss
Bark

Other natural material depending on the season, such as cones, pods, etc.
Seasonal decorations such as Easter eggs, rabbits, butterflies, shells, driftwood, etc. A little goes a long way.
Long, low container, 18 to 25 inches long x 4 to 6 inches wide.
One block oasis, plus one small piece to make the oasis fit tightly.
The garden may be made to suit almost any time of year, by changing the flowers, natural materials and decorations to suit the season.
