“A Vegetative Arrangement, is meant to be a design that presents plants as they grow in nature or the garden. Flowers and foliage are selected according to seasonal compatibility \u2013 so you wouldn\u2019t see a sunflower in with a daffodil because they wouldn\u2019t be blooming at the same time in the garden. This \u2018slice of garden\u2019 should show interest from all sides and bear in mind Color, Fragrance, Texture and Pattern.”<\/p>\n

A vegetative arrangement represents your garden. It looks like a piece of your garden that has been cut out.\u00a0 I attempted this style of arranging back in April 2016. It was a rather hurriedly put together\u00a0design for a competition at my local flower club.\u00a0 We were asked to create an exhibit with the title “From the Garden” and so that’s exactly what I did.\u00a0 The day before we had ben hit with torrential wind and rain. Some of my pots near my front door entry had fallen fowl of the weather and had fallen over and broken.\u00a0 Can you seen this represented in my vegetative landscape design?<\/p>\n
