The cornflowers blossomed this week so I was inspired to make a small posy. Flower posies are one of my favorite types of flower bouquets to make. Here I am using flowers I picked from my balcony garden as well as a few bunches of herbs from a local and organic farm. I encourage flower students, both those looking to become florists, and those simply looking to add flowers to their weekly wellness practice, to make a flower arrangement weekly. Join me? 

When you start working with fresh flowers weekly, you improve your home and mental health. If you aspire to be a florist, working with flowers weekly will help you hone your skill and eventually build your portfolio of work.

Ingredients: 

basil (including cinnamon basil) 

flowering cilantro 

cosmos 

cornflower 

sweet pea 

radish flower 

fennel 

scented geranium 

pennyroyal
