FLOWER ARRANGING: FLOWERSIN OUR LIVES – OR FLORAL ARTBy Norma Dobney, chairman of the NationalAssociation of Flower Arranging SocietiesFLOWERS are an integral part of all ourlives, they complement any celebration; wewould rarely see a wedding withoutwonderful displays in the church, receptionand, of course, the bridal bouquet. Equallywe would rarely say goodbye to atreasured one without flowers.In Masonic circles there are flowers atLadies Evenings and social events, oftenat regular monthly meetings and yourhusband will on occasions returntriumphant with an arrangement the Masterhas sent for you.Many of us will simply put flowers in a vase when we receive themand to see the beauty of individual blooms is a joy, but Floral Art ismuch more than this and it is a greater joy to see large displayscomplementing their settings in flower festivals around the country.Churches, Minsters and Abbeys, also private homes, ManorHouses and Country Estates as in Chatsworth and Masonic venuessuch as Tapton Hall, all provide opportunities for us to see Floral Artat its best and most innovative as with the Festival Rejoice, held atWestminster Abbey in May 2009 to celebrate the 50th Anniversaryof the National Association of Flower Arranging Societies - NAFAS.A step further is to attend floral competitions. NAFAS hold aNational Show every year which moves around the country givingmembers and public the opportunity to attend and see competitivework at its best, plus demonstrations by national figures and muchmore; equally regional shows staged by the Areas of NAFAS arepresented around the country as are other regional Shows, forexample, the Harrogate Spring and Autumn Show, Malvern Showetc.Garden plant material is very importantto flower arrangers, the interest that avariety of material brings to anarrangement is paramount, especially ininterpretive work, it can create an“atmosphere” by the very nature of itstexture and colour.We are always looking for the “unusual”,a stem of Garrya Elliptica with itswonderful catkins, variegated Griselinia orthe glorious bare stems of the Cornus,and what about the variegated Bergenia“Tubby Andrews” with its variegation in thesummer months turning to wonderful redsin the Autumn. Plants for height – thePhormium Tenax or New Zealand flax, orlarge palmative leaves as with the FatsiaJaponica. The knock on effect of this is arenewed interest in our gardens andplanting with our flower arranging in mind,rarely will I pick flowers from the garden asI like to see them in their natural settings.Foliage and seed heads are anothermatter entirely and to be able to pick a large variety from your owngarden is a joy, in fact often an arrangement can be just foliage andbe a work of art in its own right - and don’t throw anything away inthe autumn, spray your dried seed heads to use in Christmasarrangements, montbretia, delphinium, foxgloves and many more.How to find out more about flower arranging? Well, there aremany books available and magazines. The Flower Arranger is theNAFAS quarterly publication, the premier magazine on flowerarranging, and is available at some bookstores, wholesalers anddirect from NAFAS, or if you are a member, then at a reduced pricethrough your club.Join a flower Club, or attend a class to start you off, by contactingNAFAS headquarters Tel: 020 7247 5567 or email:flowers@nafas.org.uk If attending a festival, ask a steward, any ofthese can direct you to a club in your area. But above all else let thebeauty of a lovely flowerarrangement, howeversmall or large, bring joyto your heart.The Buckingham Partnership LtdProject Management, Quantity SurveyingSimon BuckinghamConsultant19 Chilver DriveTongBradford, BD4 0TS01274 684472 / 07825 760152simon@sbuckingham.co.ukwww.sbuckingham.co.ukRegistered in England and Wales 0670512619
