 Nancy Ross Hugo practices a form of floral design that emphasizes the joy of the process, the rewards of staying in intimate touch with nature, and the value of stretching one’s creative muscles by playing with plant material. According to Nancy, who creates a small arrangement on her windowsill daily, this kind of arranging can function as a form of nature journaling (reminding you what is blooming when), teach you how arrangements evolve (because materials get recycled from one arrangement to another), and extend your awareness of creative possibilities (since there are no penalties for experimenting). For her windowsill arrangements, Nancy uses bottles, jars, and other small vases to showcase leaves, seed pods, flowers, and twigs (sometimes alone, sometimes in combination) in ways celebrate the seasons, and she encourages others to do the same. According to Nancy, this simple, easy form of floral design requires very little plant material but results in lavish learning and a deepening appreciation of natural rhythms. In her slides and on-site arrangements, Nancy shares some of her own creations (which range from naturalistic to Asian-inspired and contemporary designs), and her talk provides tips on the best containers, techniques, and materials. ​

Lisa Ziegler will present three talks at Stryker Building, on Friday.  
​A Summer of Bouquets   (Program will be done twice)
Learn how to have a small designated flower bed (3’ x 10’) as a cutting garden for a season full of gorgeous cut flowers. Following Lisa’s recommendations in your garden will produce a bounty of cut flowers to fill your home and enough to share with friends. Lisa’s guide: The Easy Cut-Flower Garden was based on this program.
 
Growing Gorgeous Spring Flowers
Lisa shares her experiences growing some of the most beautiful spring flowers; bells of Ireland, sweet peas, snapdragons and others in her southeastern Virginia gardens. Fall and early spring planting of cool-season hardy annuals isn’t a new idea—but rekindled from the days of our grandparents when a garden was a part of everyday life. Lisa's book Cool Flowers was based on this program.
