Inspiring ways to bring country style into your home.

Capture the Delight of a Spring Morning Capture the delight of discovering a bird’s hidden nest on a sunny spring morning with this everlasting floral piece created by Sue Morgan of Monches Farm. The varied textures and hues of green, chartreuse and cream are accented by the lavender-blue of wild hyacinths. A small bird’s nest is nested in the base of this delightful seasonal piece.

Monches Farm designers Johanna Kleckner and Sue Morgan have been creating floral art for more than 25 years. They would be happy to work with you to create a custom piece for your home using your design colors and reflecting your personal style. Call them at Monches Farm at 262966-2787 for a consultation.

To create this piece Sue used the following everlasting material: 9" x 7" vintage look glazed container Block of floral foam, Small handful of sheet moss 3 cream and green parrot tulips 1 large bunch of pennycress, cut into individual stems 1 large bunch of wild hyacinth, cut into individual stems 3 small bunches of chartreuse masterwort (Astrantia) 1 bunch of yellow and green variegated euonymus, cut into individual stems 1 large bunch of green budded stems, cut into individual stems Before you begin, cut the floral foam to fit the container you’ve selected to use and secure the foam in place with glue. Get started with the design by lining the inner edge of your container with the sheet moss. Next, we’re going to add the everlasting floral elements in the following order: First, glue the tulips into your container to form the vertical outline of your design. Next, following the basic form created by the line of tulips, glue the following into the container, tall pennycress, followed by the tall green budded stems, and then the tall stems of wild hyacinth.

To complete your design, fill in the basal layer of the arrangement with the shorter stemmed components starting with the variegated euonymus foliage, then fill in with the chartreuse Astrantia flowers, and finish it off with your short stems of wild hyacinth. Finally, tuck a nest made of angel vine with two artificial eggs glued in its center in the front corner of your arrangement. n
