Lesson Time: 2 minutes and 54 seconds

Welcome to our latest tutorial! In this video, we’re heading outdoors to explore the art of foraging greenery– a sustainable, creative, and cost-effective way to source foliage for your floral arrangements. Whether you’re working on a personal project or preparing for an event, learning how to forage responsibly can enrich your work and deepen your connection with nature.

Tips for Foraging Greenery:

• Know your seasons: The best greenery varies depending on the time of year – take note of what’s flourishing locally.
• Be respectful and sustainable: Only take what you need and avoid damaging plants or protected areas.
• Use clean tools: Always carry clean, sharp snips to avoid harming the plant and ensure a clean cut.
• Identify before you pick: Make sure you’re foraging non-toxic, safe-to-use plants – apps and local guides can be helpful.
• Think texture and shape: Combining fine, airy textures with larger, bold foliage can create dynamic arrangements.
