Last week, I had a chance to take a class with Ariella Chezar at New York's FlowerSchool. Located on the far east side of Midtown Manhattan, tucked inside a pretty ground-floor studio, the school offers classes with well-known florists for students of every level.
As the online editor of GardenDesign.com, I often edit and read our articles about flower arranging, but sometimes, I must admit, my theoretical knowledge outstrips my actual knowledge. So I was thrilled to be able to be able to put some of my book learning to use in this class. Almost all of my fellow students were florists, so I was the amateur among pros, but I had a great time. I've put together a slide show with some tips and thoughts about how you can recreate some of Chezar's style at home.
