Floral artist, Linda Ryan, demonstrated how to make a flower arrangement using a flower pot at the Gardenettes March 8, meeting. Ryan is a member of the Louisiana Garden Club Federation Inc. Sixth District Judges Council and Hammond Garden Club.
Making a lovely floral arrangement for a gift or to decorate your home can be very simple if you keep a few things in mind, according to Linda Ryan, in her demonstration to the Gardenettes at their March 8 meeting held at the Strawberry Board building in Memorial Park. Using a decorative flower pot, Ryan lined it with plastic wrap before inserting her floral foam. Showing how to position flowers according to height and eye movement, she used fern to fill in the blank spots and cover her "mechanics" so the foam would be hidden.
