How to make a hand-tied garden bouquet with dahlias

It's such a pleasure to have a garden where you can pick flowers for bouqets. In this video I'm showing you how I make a hand-tied bouquet using the spiral technique. It's such a great technique.
The main flower in the bouquet is dahlia 'Eveline', and I compare the dahlia flowers with Thalictrum rochebrunianum, Hosta flowers and Eryngium planum.
My name is Claus Dalby, and I live in Risskov on the outskirts of Aarhus in Denmark. To date, I have written about 30 books on flowers and gardens in Danish, and my garden has been featured on many TV shows. In March 2022 my first book in English will be available. I consider my home (built in1908), and its garden with its neighboring wood, as my sanctuary. When I started gardening in 1996, there was just a large lawn covering approximately 1 acre (4,000 square meters), but today the grass is long gone - replaced by 15 hedged rooms with varying colors and moods. Additionally, one of my great passions is growing in pots, arranged to create spectacular container gardens, which I will share quite a bit about on this channel. Decor and creating moods have always interested me - both outside and inside - and I love to use the flowers from my garden for bouquets and to inspire other crafts that create a sense of hygge.

I am so pleased to be able to learn from you. Please know that you are giving one single person on the other side of the world a huge gift that could not ever be counted in spades. You have helped me so much and I can’t wait to see my first time dahlias flower! So looking forward to sending you a photo. Australia spring. Nikki

[@nspector]

That bouquet......such ethereal beauty. The small flowers are light and airy, of course, but even the dahlias, they are like clouds. At once with weight and no weight. And those colors, so gently thrilling.

[@juliej.9200]

What a beautiful arrangement, thank you! How do you prune your dahlias to get such long stems?

[@zukosmom3780]

It says in the Bible that the streets will be paved with gold. I’ll take this over gold. There’s nothing more beautiful than nature 🌻🌼🌺

[@LiveAlcheme]

The most ethereal bouquet I’ve ever seen! Magical. So grateful to have the opportunity to experience this lesson and too always see your absolute joy in communing with nature.

[@solsticesummer982]

What a beautiful garden! The plants, the hard scape, the pruning, all of it! And the bouquet is stunning

Hello hello! What a floral wonderland is your piece of paradise. I am having a recent love affair with Dahlias after avoiding them for many years thinking I had to dig them up each year. But I don't. I thank you for making such beautiful gardens>

[@PrincessKatarinah323]

Hello Claus, question for you, do you move your pots back in your green house in the winter time? And what is the care during winter?
