Country Flower Baskets designed on our Commercial Flower Arranging Course


A recent Flower Arranging Course saw our students design these country baskets.. We have seen Baskets of flower become more and more popular, they seem to disappear for a while over the past 10 years, but they are back and we love them 
As florists they are a great alternative to bouquet of flowers and for the customer they have a prearranged basket ready to display immediately.
