Flowers, the blessings from Nature

Florist, Le Bouquet

Ladan showing different occasions to use flowers

Ladan developed her passion for flowers while helping her uncle at his flower shop as a child. She loved being surrounded by such beautiful flowers and learned more about them and how to put them together to make them look even more beautiful. Now she owns a flower shop herself called Le Bouquet in San Francisco

Flowers are a great way to pass your feelings of appreciation and sympathy to others. For different occasions, you need to think about the color and scent of the flowers you give to others. It would be great to make flowers with paper and other materials if kids don’t have access to real flowers.

During the workshop, she shared simple tips on how to arrange flowers in a vase. The basic step is to put have an odd number of flowers and some greens. Remember to put a focal point by using a more outstanding flower in terms of color or size.

It’s spring and there are so many spring flowers. Maybe you want to bring spring into your living room through some peonies or hyacinth. It would be a great way to have a fun, creative exercise in your family.

Some of the kids at the camp drew flowers instead of actually arranging flowers. One kid is showing off his drawing to Ladan and everyone else.

Creativity is everywhere if you look for it. Try to practice it every day. It will grow and blossom like flowers ❤️🌺🌹💐
