How I make a large autumn arrangement just using foliage

Join flower farmer and florist Georgie Newbery of Common Farm Flowers as she creates a simply foliage #30stemchallenge with material foraged from her autumnal garden. It's a gorgeous time of year, but most people in the northern hemisphere are finding that their summer flowers are slowing down and one by one stopping flowering for the winter. Meanwhile our foliage is burning bright on shrubs and trees so have some fun searching your garden for bright colour, interesting shapes, thirty stems of autumnal material with which to make a gorgeous foliage only arrangement. Georgie loves foliage only and this one is made for the boutique hotel Number One Bruton.
You can see our full workshop calendar here www.commonfarm...
If you're booking a place on our workshops or demos the website will ask you to choose a delivery date - any date will do! And if you can't join our sessions live then you are still very welcome to book as we send the recording and notes of the workshop out to everyone afterwards, so you can download the session and refer back to it as and when you need to.
If you enjoy the tips and tricks Georgie gives you here, or would simply like to support the channel, the link to her Buy Me a Coffee page is here: www.buymeacoff...

I often watch on the big screen in the evening and there is no option to "like" or do anything except watch. So. I finally found this video on the desktop to say how much I enjoyed it. Thank you once again.

thank you xxx

How wonderful it was to see this video’s title. I’ve long wondered why foliage bouquets aren’t a thing. Delighted to see they are. When I am able, I’ll join your club.

[@theflowerfarmer]

I love a foliage bouquet x

[@elizabethr2908]

I’m absolutely loving your videos! I’m creating my first Autumn floral arrangement. Your videos are the best on KZbin ❤

[@theflowerfarmer]

Thank you so much! x

[@catherineengle4196]

Georgie you could make a 30 stem challenge of different grasses look amazing! God bless 😊

[@theflowerfarmer]

lol - what a good idea! x

[@debrabray8855]

Just gorgeous! I love that you offer more than just the arranging in your videos, like stories about the trees, bees and pollinators.

Beautiful, I'm headed outside to cut some autumn foliage!! You are such an encouragement

[@theflowerfarmer]

go for it x

[@shanlynwebb]

The way you put things together is just fantastic. A natural. Not everyone can arrange leaves and twigs into something beautiful.

[@theflowerfarmer]

ah thank you x

[@flowerfairy1950]

Aaaah you got that right 😢

[@jenniferboswell1203]

Love it! Thank you so much for showing us the whole process. Will try to craft my own this weekend. Seeing start to finish gives me the confidence to try. 🍂🍁

[@theflowerfarmer]

Good luck!! x

[@adriennechamberlain4868]

Georgie, I love how you find the beauty in everything! If only everyone watched your videos…the world would be a more positive place! I watch you from New York (not the city) and am looking forward to taking a course from you! I think you give me no choice with the mossed wreaths! Again thank you for helping us all stay positive when most people would think everything is dying! ❤

[@theflowerfarmer]

my pleasure x

[@melodyn2music]

[@staceydoran6821]

Love foliage as well, just beautiful!! Adored the baby fungi photos!!! Question… How do you politely tell your clients you would like your vessels back? If it’s a subscription client, it may be easier but what if it isn’t?

[@theflowerfarmer]

I just tell people the deal when they book the flowers - people don't mind my having the vessels back - if anything they find it annoying when I don't pick them up often enough x

[@fionasaunders7646]

Apologies greetings from Zimbabwe !

[@theflowerfarmer]

hello Zimbabwe xxx

[@lindahardyman6136]

👍😎🙏

[@fionasaunders7646]

Thank you Georgia, do you preserve stems , especially those still bearing hips, berries empty seed cases in glycerin and water ?

[@theflowerfarmer]

no because they always look and feel sticky and are duller in colour so I don't like it much x

[@melodywhealdon2072]

does it matter that you are not giving the stems a fresh cut before going into water?

[@theflowerfarmer]

not at this time of year with foliage - they aren't really drinking - they feel quite dry - flowers and fresher foliage of course would need snipping x

[@gardeninminduk-powerofplan6517]

Your videos are slick , entertaining and informative. I am starting a vlog - do you outsource your editing? Thanks

[@theflowerfarmer]

not so far x

[@gardeninminduk-powerofplan6517]

@@theflowerfarmer well they are very professional - thanks for replying I will continue to watch!

[@theflowerfarmer]

@@gardeninminduk-powerofplan6517 pleasure - enjoy x

[@ainalorentzson9257]

Do you use glycerol to preserve the leaves?

[@theflowerfarmer]

No - I don't like it - it makes everything sticky and then the dust sticks and bleurgh! x
