RJ and Talk about filming at Hope Dahlias… right here in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and all about local Flowers in Season. The Dahlias from Hope Dahlias- are incredible… and they were perfect for a collection of 3 easy to make Flower Arrangements… and I got to make them right on the farm surround by these Local Beauties.
I shares how to make these bouquets - Step by Step in #203 of Life in Bloom!
I talk about the benefit of sourcing Local Flowers in Season… which is different in just about every region of the USA… and finding a local resource- will ensure the freshest flowers - that are fun to arrange and also last a long time. I use Chrysal Professional 3 - and CVBn Tablets (gerbera pills) with my Dahlias- and also give them a coating of Chrysal Professional Glory- which can garner me up to 14 days vase life… especially when I source them locally!
