Floral Design Magazine: 2022

Use, reuse, reimagine... not only will this mantra save your time, but also extend your resources, and add value to your floral arrangements. Your team at Floral Design Magazine present their ideas on how to do just that in this innovative edition of floral design loaded with suggestions.

Wow, you will be so pleased to meet Karen Kurtz from Canada, Lisschele Masters from Australia and Priya Shah from Kenya this month as they are waiting to introduce you to some really beautiful ways of extending your passion for floral design.... of course there are innovative flower arranging lessons to try too in this month’s innovative edition of Floral Design Magazine waiting for you now.

Your magazine this edition is an eclectic mix as you travel to Poland to see the concept of space in design at work, to Florida to admire floral interpretations of outstanding women, Ecuador to learn more about the different forms of Roses and to New Zealand for more lessons using vine types that are normally considered weeds... not that you will agree with that once you have seen your results! EXTRA - You have a free excerpt from a previous Floral Design Magazine from our days of print, showing you more ways to use the bowl shaped vine you created in one of this month’s lessons. You will find the link on one of the last pages.

But that is not all as check out maypoles and muses in the Czech Republic and have a go with stacking vine wreaths in this month’s lesson. Are you ready for your monthly treats?
THE EXTRAS
Floriade is huge and there are several videos that have been made of parts of it, some being better that others. Our pick is on YouTube. Turn down the music if you aren’t fond of modern tunes and enjoy.

All the reasons why Floral Design Magazine has been in existence for 23 years is in your Floral Design Magazine this month. The sharing, improving, upgrading and gaining new ideas for florists, floral art clubs and floristry school students is all encompassed in our mission statement ‘share’. So why am I telling you this now? Because as your editor I went into a New Zealand florist shop last week and was appalled by what I saw... was it lack of education or laziness? So we have gathered for you some of the best working florists, some interesting new ideas and addressed the question.

Are you ready for this? It is the 75th Anniversary of The Garden Club of Toronto and this very special edition of Floral Design Magazine presents you with the huge variety of flower arranging styles they are so accomplished at (with tips on how you can do them too) , as well as just some of the club’s activities that have made them a vital part of the Toronto community.

The only thing that is constant is change. With that comes the need to change to progress, keep up with the times, to embrace the new…. And that is the theme of your latest edition of Floral Design Magazine.
