Jane Packer's Flower School

Wow!!  Can't believe what a fantastic day I had on Friday at the Jane Packer Flower School.

Gav booked me a place on Jane's Masterclass for my birthday so as you can imagine I have so excited about it since then!!

We started the day making a huge handtied arrangement from:
Dahlia 'Diane'
Hydrangea 'Lime Light'
Rose 'Vendela'
Calla 'Rossetti'

Jane and Duncan demonstrated how to do it and then it was our turn .......

After lunch it was time for the part of the day I was most hoping for - the chance to make one of Jane's signature arrangements .... a Hat Box!

Once again, Jane and Duncan demonstrated the technique, this time, step by step.




The flowers we used included:
Rose 'Black Baccara'
Rose 'Sweet Naomi'
Celosia
Sedum


All packaged up and ready for delivery .....
