Seasonal Foliage Ideas with Orla McGrane

Seasonal Foliage Ideas with Orla McGrane
Yesterday we had the pleasure of welcoming Orla McGrane back to the Garden Center for our first Christmas Floral Demonstration. I was lucky enough to have the time to sit and watch this florist artist at work and she certainly did not disappoint! The pieces that Orla made were simple using everyday foliage from the garden but put together in her unique way to create stunning wreaths and Christmas decor that anyone would be proud to display in their homes. Orla was great at sharing her 'tricks of the trade' and the audience were interactive and asked questions throughout the session. Some of the foliage that Orla used included;
  • Pittosporum Irene Patterson
  • Choisya Aztec Pearl
  • Choisya Ternata
  • Pittosporum Tobira
  • Sarcococca confusa - Christmas box
  • Fatsia 'Spiders Web'
  • Myrtle
  • Fathedera Lizei
  • Heuchera 'Marmalade'
  • Hebe buxifolia nana
  • Hypericum Green
  • Skimmia 'Kew Green'
Here are some of Orla's creations from yesterday. We look forward to welcoming Orla back again next week on Thursday November of 26th 2015! I can't wait :)
