This arrangement was inspired by these gorgeous lisianthus 

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 .......

Me with my arrangement before packaging it up

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 .....

Hydrangea and Roses

Final Contemporary Design Week

This is a very contemporary style arrangement which I tried to soften by using roses and hydrangea rather then orchids or anthurium.

Funky Vase Arrangement

To make this fabulous handtied arrangement I used bright pink germinis, cymbodium orchids, bear grass and spirals of green wire.
