         <description><![CDATA[Pods  and Cones
  Dried pods and sponge mushrooms are easily  found in many varieties, sizes, colors and textures to be used in arrangements.  Mushrooms and pods can be found with long wire stems or 4”-6” wood picks,  making them easy to attach or insert.
  Also available from Stokes Croft florists are many different types  of cones, some with heavy stems attached. Or you can collect your own cones.  Always use fresh cones; if they crumble in your hands, they are too old and  will not provide...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Negotiate budget

When  discussing your budget with a florist, be very firm. Only you know how much you  are willing to spend on your flowers. If the quote that a florist gives you is  unreasonable, search around your neighborhood. It is always better to find a  great deal and a florist that will take your flowers seriously. A knowledgeable Granville florist should be able to suggest new flower  ideas within your price range. With so many options available to consumers these days, particularly...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[The  Pleasure of Gardening
  Many things in life can make us happy, some  for a day, others for a month.  But if  you want to be happy for a lifetime, our experience tells us that the best prospect  comes with being a gardener.  It would be  untrue to say that gardening is all joy and that beautiful flowers Auburn South appear with no bugs,  disease, or frost damage.  Nevertheless,  compared to most pursuits, gardening offers enough rewards, challenges, and  pleasures to satisfy nearly anyone. ...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Spring  Bulbs
  To most beginning gardeners, spring bulbs  mean crocuses, tu­lips and daffodils, and certainly no garden should be without  them. But there are more than a dozen other kinds, (see your nearest florist Barton Hill if you have questions), each  of which may include many species and varieties that are as charming as they are  easy to grow: the tall, imposing fritillarias, the graceful, mottled trout  lilies, the gay, free-flowering ranunculuses, to name a few. Moreover, most ...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[My dearest flower series - Galanthus
  Snowdrops are among the first flowers to  open in spring and can also be grown indoors for midwinter bloom. Each  translucent blossom is composed of three green-tipped inner petals and three  longer, all-white outer petals; the slender leaves grow 3 to 8 inches long and  wither away in late spring. Snowdrops grow particularly well beneath deciduous  trees and are well suited to random planting amidst rough grass. The only  species usually available from a...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Mother’s Day
  This is one of the most important, and busiest, occasions in the florist’s  calendar. At Christmas, customers accept that arrangements will be sent out  throughout the week preceding the event, but Mother’s Day arrangements must go  out on the Saturday and Sunday, resulting in long working hours for florists  and their drivers. 
  Mother’s Day has evolved from the time when many people were in service and  away from home. On just one day a year they were allowed to visit their ...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Planting  a Potted Rosebush

  To plant a rosebush purchased in a tar-paper or metal pot, dig       a hole twice the diameter of the pot and twice as deep as the height of       the pot. Then fill the hole with soil mixed with fertilizer and peat moss       until the pot, when set in the hole, has its own soil level even with the       level of the ground.

  After having watered the plant thoroughly (to make the soil       adhere to the roots in one big lump), gently tip a tar-paper pot over...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Planting  Summer Bulbs
Many encyclopedias maintained by Enfield florists specify details for each  bulb, but as a general rule, hardy summer bulbs should be planted at the same  time as spring-flowering bulbs, that is, in the fall. All summer bulbs that in  cold climates must be dug up and stored each fall (a category that includes  gladioluses and dahlias as well as caladiums) must be planted in the spring,  the precise time depending on the plant. Caladiums and tuberous begonias, for ...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Plan your garden carefully
The whole pattern of our lives has changed; when it was relatively easy to get help it was pleasant to wander round a garden and enjoy one surprise after another, walking from hedged rose garden to lily pool to rock garden: now I feel envy for those of my friends who had the foresight to place a rock pool or rock garden as a feature easily seen from the house or perhaps next to the sun loggia. Even on a chill spring evening or damp summer night you can then sit and...]]></description>

Fold back the brim of a large-­brimmed hat and attach a bouquet of dried flowers with a hat pin. If your hat doesn't have a wide brim, glue dried flowers onto the hat band. Keep a tiny bouquet of dried flowers Avonmouth wired to a hat pin on your dresser, so you can quickly change the mood of any hat you choose. Dried autumn leaves and ber­ries make wonderful decora­tions for winter hats.
