Irvinestown children make flowers for Ulster in Bloom
Tuesday, August 14, 2018Like everywhere else, a town in County Fermanagh felt the effects of the hot weather and the hosepipe ban. The theme for the Irvinestown 17th annual summer scheme is Flower Power.It coincides with the 40th Lady of the Lake Festival. But while the 200 children and over 60 volunteers and staff made the most of the good weather, the effects of the sun meant disappointment for a town desperate to win an Ulster in Bloom title. Jenny Irvine is the Chief Executive of the Arc Healthy Living Centre. She said the children of the town made a special effort for the Ulster in Bloom competition. All to little avail. But not easily deterred, the children turned to arts and crafts to try to save the day. "The call for flowers came and we decided they didn't necessarily have to be real flowers, so the children have been hard at work making Irvinestown blooming marvellous," said Ms Irvine.The children have spent hours piling, pleating, twisting and pulling thousands of pieces of crepe paper with pipe cleaners to make flowers to decorate the town. Hours of work have ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-44934642

How to design your own holiday centerpiece - Purdue Agricultural Communications
Tuesday, January 08, 2019He added that differently textured foliage should be used to give the piece a dynamic look.Many winter greens can be found in backyards and neighborhoods, eliminating the need to purchase from a florist. “White pine, for example, can be found in many neighborhoods,” Cotterman said. “When it comes to blooms for the centerpiece you might need to visit a flower shop, but greenery can be found everywhere.”After disguising the dish and base with greenery, Cotterman suggested choosing several different blooms to intersperse throughout the arrangement. A variation of colors, textures and sizes will enhance the arrangement and produce an inviting fragrance. When it comes to adding the blooms, don’t go overboard, Cotterman advised, and stick to an odd number of flowers.Perhaps most importantly, sink the stems of blooms and greenery into the base by at least half an inch. If a bloom needs to be moved, the stem must be re-trimmed and inserted into a different location.“This is so we don’t clog the stems. We want the stems to be able to soak up as much water as possible,” Cotterman said.While decorating is an important part of the holidays for many families, decorations should never come at the expense of guests, he continued. Floral arrangements can be aromatic, so be sensitiv... https://ag.purdue.edu/stories/how-to-design-your-own-holiday-centerpiece/
