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.
