Protect
When you’ve poured love into your bouquet, here are some tips to keep them thriving...a little longer.
Feed your flowers: Mix 1 tsp sugar + 1 tsp vinegar + 2 cups water.
Trim the stems: Every 2-3 days, cut about ½ inch at an angle
Be a pollinator gal: Save seeds from spent blooms and plant them in a sunny spot.
Preserve
When your bouquet starts to fade, it’s not the end – it’s the beginning of something new!
Air-dry your favorites: Hang blooms upside down in a dry space for 1-2 weeks.
Make a memory: Press petals between heavy books for a bookmark or cards.
Make potpourri: Dry flowers, place in jar, add essential oils, sprinkle fixative (e.g., orris root powder), seal to allow scents to blend.
Prevent
Even scraps can serve a purpose. Let’s give them one.
Compost the rest: Floral trimmings can feed your soil for next season.
Store dried flowers right: Keep them in paper bags to avoid mold and fading.
Create home decor: Make a floral wreath or hanging basket for your home decor.
