That's how I started! By watching your "Back to basics" It gave me confidence to do the church floral arrangements when the previous person left. I've probably watched every single video! Thank you so much!

Thank you for your educational post.

Is your foam free of poisons? Here in the USA those flowers do not grow in the gardens at the same time. Do they in your country or are you buying from the store

Sharon. I love it. Thank you for inspiring me how to use less flowers but still can make a big arrangement. And the tips to cover the oasis. ❤

It’s too hot here to do anything much today so thought I’d see if there was anything new on your channel and this video was there to watch, missed it last year. What a fabulous design, love green and white, it’s made me feel nice and cool, and lucky me I have plenty of strelitzia leaves and aspidistra so will have a play with something like this. As always thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge.

Thank you Sharon. On retirement I am learning floristry and... English:) I have been watching these videos every day for a month. I am very pleased. And thank you very much for speaking so clearly. Greetings from Gdańsk (Poland)

Lovely. I see I will have to purchase a few new flowers. Great explanation 👌

Wonderful 😍😍

You didn't mention the pink one after the Lemonade Cosmos. Is it a Lisianthus?

Thank you Sharon, I’ve lost all my hebes, I know it’s a lot hotter here in Southern Spain but they are in the garden centres in the sun so I’m giving up on those which is a pity, I also need to move my Fatsia as that’s getting burnt each summer but it survives thank goodness.

I thought the first was one of yours Sharon, Beautiful Januk

Great video, I have soooo much fatsia but the leaves are very pale green and look to insipid. I need to sort that out. Not sure if it needs more shade or food. All my Hebe died about 4 years ago and I wasn’t too surprised. But talking to a local garden centre apparently a lot of people had also lost theirs too. So I didn’t replace it in case it was a disease or virus. Maybe need to try again. I love my limelight hydrangeas, big heads just wait until it’s fully open before cutting. I used alum when I cut them, which is a pickling spice. I find my ferns are a godsend for foliage - I know you say people struggle to find foliage if they haven’t got a wholesale account, but a few ferns and hosta. They brighten up dark corners and are prolific.

That’s so useful to know, thank you

That was amazing a lot of information thank you.

Thank you Sharon, lots of useful information, I’m going to treat myself to that hydrangea,it’s gorgeous!

This is a great idea to have a channel for feedback on designs and I have really enjoyed looking at the three arrangements that were shown and to hear your thoughts. The designs featured were all lovely and different, so had a good range of different points to take on board. Thank you for the work you put in for these video's, I wait excitedly each week for the next one.

Great arrangement Sharon, beautiful Acer, hope hubby didn’t notice. Good tip to use bark or stones to cover oasis in a modern design, I’ll remember that in future. Thank you.

I’m two minutes in and my mouth is watering for a Black Forest gateaux!! I was deeply unprepared for this. 😆

Very different love the textures

Really like this one Sharon , love the lines and space .

Loved this contemporary design, I always grow sunflowers so will save ideas. Love the basket, so handy to transport.

❤

That's an interesting design Sharon. Whats the widest you can come out on either side and how do you know this, or rather how do you know when to stop? Interesting the way the flowers are slightly on their sides, and you don't get that visual impact, I guess this is only in Contemporary designs? I'm cautions about placing materials in on a slant as they often look as your design is falling over. I guess experiences is required for doing this. Thanks I really love this one. You have used your materials very well.

Incredible how you create something so beautiful from so few flowers, those sunflowers without petals look like a solar eclipse

Teşekkürler sharon👍👏👋🌺

Thank you Sharon and a big thank you and congratulations to the ladies who submitted designs. Margret May, I love your container but I do understand what you are saying Sharon. Sharon your critique was excellent, helpful and informative. I had hoped to submit a design the other week but sadly whilst doing the arrangement one of my five rose fell completely apart so the design didn’t work at all, I was very disappointed as they were table flowers for my husbands birthday. A great idea for a series of videos and I look forward to more. Thank you Sharon.

Beautiful Sharon, love the colours. It’s always great to refresh design skills, and thanks for the tip about raising the Gerbera to allow water to pool, didn’t know that. Looking forward to the L shaped design.

Dear Sharon, Thank you so much for your wonderful information floral videos. They have helped me so much. I have found in my Balloon Decor business that. Clients request flowers to go along with balloon 😅designs. I tell them I don't know what I'm doing withflower, they let ask me to try! I am enjoying using ypur design concepts in designing my Balloon Decor. I have come to a problem. I have found that you've havent done a video on floral arch. I am trying apply your rules to the arch. It is an arch that is like a half arc. I Was going to make it wider at the base and get thinner as it goes up. I am unsure of where my focal point flowers should be? Should I put Larger flowers on bottom 1/3 and use smaller flowers going up? Or should I put Larger flowers in middle all the way up arc, but not in a straight line 😊 and smaller flowers on the outside. Do you have arch videos? This arch is for a wedding, it will be artificial flowers for ceremony and then reception. I have months to practice and get it correct. I am considering size, fit through doors, well built to handle transporting. If it looks good hopefully re-use to rent out in future. So nervous, I dont want to ruin anyones wedding. You are an awesome teacher. Hoping you have arch videos. Thank you! Ellen

I am happy for you to use floral foam and fibre or netting. My corn cobs take longer to decompose than my foam.

So sorry you were unwell. Thank you for all you do for us

Well done to the three ladies who submitted their lovely designs. Loved this video Sharon. I learnt lots of tips - a great way to teach your audience. Thank you for your time to share with us Sharon ❤

Please show more European style design. Great one

Sharon I’ve been watching you on utube . I love your videos . I’ve been puttering with flowers since I was young . The last year I’ve been making small silk flower arrangements . I’m now 76 and I find I need a hobby for winter . You explain everything so I can understand what your talking about . Your arrangements are spectacular. Thankyou for doing these videos .

Gorgeous arrangement on an unusual receptacle .

What a fabulous video! Thank you, Sharon. Thank you too to the ladies who had the confidence to share their lovely designs with you. Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to send you a design😂. Hopefully, lots more will too as I think it’s another really useful learning tool. 🌸

Sharon. I can’t believe my work was featured in your video. Thank you for your compliments and suggestions. You really spoke to me. I can’t bear to throw away any flower. I always try to make the most of everything by squeezing all the flowers in. So appreciate for your teaching. I learned everything from your videos. You’re the best teacher ever. ❤

I love that you are helping us this way Sharon, you are very kind and generous. I liked seeing the designs people sent in too.

Thank you, from Margaret May in Tasmanian, yes it’s winter. Loved your feedback, it’s been very helpful. Great idea to review our designs.

You are the BEST, I love all your work.

Dizayn ayrı bir güzel çiçekleriniz ayrı bir güzel deycek söz bulamıyorum sadece mükemmelin ötesi teşekkürler sharon sizi fesbuğunuzdanda takip ediyor ve beğeni tuşuna basıyorum 👍👏😊🌺 Hülya

Thank you so informative and helpful. Really interesting to learn from others fabulous arrangements. Hopefully will have a photo soon of my own attempts Really looking forward to the next feedback session Thanks again ❤

That's really good so helpful. I will send you a photo after the summer months sometime for a future video. Thanks ❤

Thanks

Very nice arrangement.

Photinia here in Tasmania are eaten bare to the branches, must taste nice

Oh Sharon, so happy you're back to the "basics". Some things never go out of style and always look good. I appreciate your keeping current with the newer styles, but I love this. I've been a floral designer since the 1980's and I never get tired of focusing on the good old standards. Everything old is new again. Thanks again. From NY, USA
