Flowers & plantsFresh-cut floral arrangements are easy to buy from your local florist. They usually last between 4-9 days, depending on the types of flowers and plants used, and the quality of care they receive. The best and the most economical choice is to buy flowers that are currently in season.
Artificial flowers are more practical, so they will last for a long time with proper care. However, artificial flowers are more appropriate as an element of interior design, rather than as a gift. Some florists successfully use a combination of fresh-cut and artificial flowers for their arrangements. Artificial flowers are also used in crafts, as a decorative element in jewelry, clothes and shoes.
Growing garden flowers and plants is a rewarding hobby. It has a relaxing effect of taking you away from everyday worries into a fascinating world of bright colors and enchanting fragrances. Gardening is a science, but everyone can learn it at his/her own pace, starting with flowers and plants that don’t require a complicated care. Smiles of your friends, when they receive bouquets of flowers grown in your own garden, will make it worthwhile.
Dried flowers make unique and exquisite arrangements - gift baskets, wreaths, and bouquets. They will keep the beauty of autumn leaves and the originality of summer blooms in your home for months. Dried flowers and berries add a special charm to Christmas wreaths and give a finishing touch to Christmas decor.
