Having an Intimate Relationship with Flowers
By Heidi | November 6, 2009
Have you ever seen someone approach a great floral arrangement and gingerly touch it just to see if it is real? So many of us think of flowers as fragile works of art rather than objects of intimate enjoyment! Perhaps, many of us grew up at a time when flowers were expensive, and seemed best handled by experienced professionals.
Did you know that Research at Rutgers University has proved that flowers make people happy? In addition, a study at Harvard proved that flowers improve creativity. During this difficult period in our economy, couldn’t we all use some happiness and an outlet to express our creativity? Working with flowers was once an expensive affair, but now, flowers purchased in the wholesale flower market are extremely economical.
If your neighborhood bunco group, mom’s organization, church group, knitting circle, book club, or quilting group is looking for an inexpensive way to be creative together, consider flower arranging. With a sharp knife or floral shears, a vase or container, water and floral foam, your favorite organization can have a wonderful time getting “up close and personal” with different sizes, colors, and varieties of flowers. No expertise is required! Just have fun and experiment with a creative outlet no longer just for the pros!
