Working with native plants in floral design 🌱
Native plants play a big role in helping our out-of-balance ecosystem. So, bringing them into my floral designs is a way of making sure a lot of my garden space can go to them instead of non-native plants (I still have those, but every native plant I can grow is making my little piece of the ecosystem that much healthier!).
When I use native plants for designs, I don’t over-harvest from my gardens. It’s so important to me that the plants are mainly there for the wildlife and pollinators. I check for caterpillar eggs, spider webs, and other insect activity and I leave those sections. And then I purchase additional stems from other growers who are also growing and harvesting ethically with no pesticides and ecosystem-first practices.
For the wild at heart, easy-going, sustainable-minded folks out there 🖤
