For Sustainable Sunday I use a pocket vase to create a fan shaped floral design reminiscent if a calming meadow to celebrate the height of summer. Simple and cheerful with various textures and shapes and the scent of chamomile. Bring the beauty of summer flowers into your home. #nofloralfoam #floraldesign #paxinnatura #peaceinnature #biophilicdesign #californiaflowers #sustainabledesign #sustainableliving #flowerpower #meadow #sustainablesunday #chamomile #yellowflowers🌼 #minicarnations #craspedia #pitosporum #pocketvase #fanshapedflowers
Sustainable floral Sunday. A design for outdoor spaces using cut flowers from local growers and from the trees and flowers in the garden. It is a great way to use potted plant containers. Use chicken wire to hold the flowers. #nofloralfoam #floraldesign #paxinnatura #peaceinnature #sunflowers #biophilicdesign #thistle #californiaflowers #cornflowers #sustainablefashion #sustainableliving #sustainabledesign
Frugal Flower Friday celebrates fireworks and summer holidays like July 4th in the States and Bastille Day in France.Why not make a bang with a large and explosive floral design that mimics fireworks. Here I use hydrangea at the base to represent the sky amd fluffy clouds. Sea Thistle to act as starbursts and Veronica to suggest rockets. I added red hypericum for color and for added texturre, I tooknthe petals off of old sunflowers to prlong their like and use. Happy Summer!

Happy Frugal Flower Friday. I was commissioned to make two flower crowns for a middle school graduation. Flower crowns are expensive because they are time consuming to make. However, they are are great way to use small flowers and leaf cuttings that would normally be tossed away. I used a mix of lavander and white flowers and greens from the garden. These were tied in a raffia base. They will dry beautifully. If you need crowns contact me via my website. #nofloralfoam #californiaflowers #floraldesign #paxinnatura #peaceinnature #flowerpower #tropical #flowercrown #graduationflowers #lavender #roses #carnations #mums
For frugal flower Friday, I created an underwater coral reef out of dried flowers, live flowers, and flowers that list their petals. I added shells, sea glass, curly williw and palm fiber. The mechanics are kenzai and reused glasses and plastic containers. It makes a great centrepiece for tropical dining events, sea lovers, and snorkeling and scuba enthusiasts. Missing tropical waters, why not create one of these. It is a great way to prolong the life if your flowers.

For Sustainable Sunday I am using a mixed bunch of locally grown flowers along with curly willow from my lical farmers market. The willow adds height and texture. The flowers remind me of a meadow field of flowers, so I want them mixed and informal. I also added grasses to give them more of a meadow feel. #nofloralfoam #californiaflowers #floraldesign #paxinnatura #peaceinnature #flowerpower #meadowflowers #informalflowers #mixedflowersbouquet💐 #vasedesign #rusticflowers #biophilicdesign #sancarlosfarmersmarket
Making flower crowns this week for a baby shower. I offered my client two options. One with baby roses, gypsophilia, hypericum and sea holly. The othe simply seaholly and gypsophilia. She chose the latter. All of my crowns are bespoke and made to order. Have a look at my website if you need one. All sizes for all occasions. #nofloralfoam #flowercrown #californiaflowers #floraldesign #peaceinnature #paxinnatura #flowerpower #bridalflowers #bridalcrown #firstcommunion #babyshower
Mother’s Day is next Sunday, so here is a seasonal, sustainable and affordable design that looks large and expensive. Use luxurious cala lilies out of the garden. They are growing well in the Bay Area of San Francisco now. Leaves from lilies, and intersperse with butterfly ranunculus. I used flower frogs to hokd up the flowers. If you are interested in learning how to make sustainable designs have a look at my website for workshop information. #nofloralfoam #californiaflowers #floraldesign #paxinnatura #peaceinnature #diy #flowerpower #ranunculus #mothersday #mothersdaygiftideas #mothersdayflowers #mothersdayflowerarrangement #calalilies #sustainablefashion #sustainablesunday #seasonalblooms #floralworkshop
Happy May Day! I was inspired to make a wild, meadow like design to share. The ranunculus are from Bluma Flower Farm. An organic rooftop farm in Berkeley (amazing!). Willow, sticks I found on walks in the woods and some flowers from my local farmers market in San Carlos. These are held in place with a vine ball. #nofloralfoam #californiaflowers #mayday #floraldesign #paxinnatura #peaceinnature #daisies #ranunculus #diy #willow
Bright and cheery table decoration for Sustainable Sunday. I reuse flowers from a week ago to create a new design. I was inspired by a trip to Tahiti and the amazing colors of the landscape to make something vibrant. I use Sweet William, Pincushion Protea, Craspedia and Eucalyptus. The flowers are held in place with willow. The bowl was free from a neighbour. Try to see what is around your home for containers, restyle flowers when some begin to die, and remember to compost all biodegradable materials. Interested in learning from me? Have a look at my website and take a class. #peaceinnature #nofloralfoam #floraldesigns #paxinnatura #DIY #brightflowers #nofloralfoam #willow #flowerpower #centerpiece #sweetwilliam #craspedia #eucalyptus #pincushionprotea #reducereuserecycle #biophilia
For frugal flower Friday a wedding bouquet for a tie dye wedding theme! This is not frugal, but I had to share the bright flowers to demonstrate that the Flower Power of the 1960s is still alive and well in the Bay Area of California. So peace and love for the weekend. Enjoy your Peace in Nature. #peaceinnature #nofloralfoam #floraldesigns #paxinnatura #DIY #brightflowers #wedding #floralfoam #hippie #flowerpower #roses #hydrangea #bridalbouquet #ranunculus #veronica

For Sustainable Floral Sunday, I focus on a modern Protea design because proteas are in season in California at the moment. They are a beautiful and unusual shape flower that comes from Southern Africa and remind me of a trip I had to Cape Town and it’s surrounding area. I have added craspedia and eucalyptus for height and Sweet William for the base. Simple, seasonal, locally sourced and modern. #peaceinnature #nofloralfoam #floraldesigns #paxinnatura #vase #DIY #sustainablesundays #brightflowers #modernflowers #craspedia #protea #eucalyptus #sweetwilliams
