FLORAL & BOTANICAL

At th end of winter, it soothes your spirit having around you the first

colors of spring to come. just try a neat composition of different vases

with bulbs and add some shrub cuttings that will be forced to bloom

inside your home.

And below are the stages of how to prepare this kind

of bulbs landscape in one of your side tables.

An elegant bouquet made just with foraged branches of Virginia creeper,

Parthenocissus quinquefolia, creates a dramatic arrangement in a vibrant red fall

colors and a contrasting acid green vase. A sober and delicate, yet luxurious balance for a bouquet.

Artichokes are beautiful flowers and when you find heirlooms like this,

they make a perfect portrait.

The city of Nantes was named green capital in 2013 and has been working to

keep that designation by introducing many laws and regulations and especially

urban renovations and new projects. Some of them are initiatives for the summer

arts evens “Voyage a Nantes”. Others are real urban projects that include

regeneration of some areas of the city.

This is the case in these photos, the former quarry (and other things) Misery is

becoming a new garden for the city, maybe more like a park or a kind of forest

experience, the Jardin Extraordinaire is in development and will open this September

with mini forests, waterfalls, paths, green areas, etc. With the aim of building a

sustainable area. And is very close to the Musee Jules Verne, another cute visit.

You can use dried flowers foraged in summer to match the soften tones of fall interiors.
