Blooming Pots

Happy Spring!

Refresh your surroundings in honour of Spring! We wanted to create an inviting display outside so we used artificial flowers in our planter as it is still a little too early for the real thing.

Greg Nicholson, floral designer from the Village Grocer gave a wonderful presentaton showing us how to breathe new life into our homes with fresh florals. This beautiful basket makes a delightful centrepiece for an Easter gathering.

Greg showed us how to take spring bulbs already in bloom to create beautiful seasonal arrangments. Nothing lifts the spirit more than fresh florals that continue to grow and bloom before your eyes.

Greg informed us that we could take branches from any flowering trees and shrubs during the winter months and force them into bloom simply by placing them in water. This can take a number of weeks but the wait is worth it. Next January, I plan to take branches from my crab apple tree and enjoy blooms in February!

Creating beautiful urns is Greg's specialty. Be sure to check out the Village Grocer located at 548 Carleton Road, corner of Kennedy Road in Unionville.
