  • This video is a recording of my live demo at The Gardener's Workshop Open Farm day on June 29 2024. I showed a lively crowd how I design a spiral handtied bouquet. This technique can be used for bridal bouquets or to be placed in a vase.

      It’s the 1/4 turn that gets me. My brain wants to turn 1/2. I’m going to cut some buckets and sit out back to practice.

    Thanks for this demonstration. Do you continue to put the stems in the shape of an x and it fills in or the stems are all going the same direction?

    • @ellenfrostflowers
      @ellenfrostflowers  7 днів тому +1

      yes! Keep the X placement to ensure the bouquet keeps the spiral. If you want to add a couple of stems at the end through the middle- that shouldn't impact the spiral.
