Weekly Nursing Home Flowers

I had so much fun arranging these nursing home flowers this week! But I really wish I had just finished setting up a wedding! 

Nursing Home Weekly Flowers

     I had so much fun today doing my weekly flowers for a nursing home! I’m so happy peonies are in season! I love designing with them!

NOW is the time to start your GARDEN!

    I love to garden and when winter comes I always get sad that my garden dies! But now that we are at the end of March I can start getting it back up again and look forward to what great surprises it grows for me!!!

    Yesterday I saw on the news that it was Plant a Seed Day! But I had already started mine! A few weeks ago I went out and bought seed starter pots and filled them with soil.  The next step is to soak the seeds in water and then put them in biodegradable seed starting pots! I then wrapped it in foil to keep it warm. A few seeds have sprouted and I can’t wait until it warms up enough that I can transplant them in my garden outside!

I'm back having FUN!!!

       Loda Floral Design took a huge break because doing wedding flowers got too stressful and took time away from my family but I couldn't let go of the fun I had arranging flowers so I started back up again by volunteering a few hours in my week to make these! My cooler is now filling up again with arrangements I do for a nursing home!!! The fun comes because a local grocery store gives me the flowers they can't sell because 1 or 2 have gone bad in the bunch but the rest are good.  When I get the flowers from the store I pull out all the good flowers and create these fun arrangements!!! I never know what I'm going to create until I get the flowers! It's always a fun surprise!!
