As many of us are getting out in the garden and cutting back the spent stems we either didn’t get to in fall or left standing intentionally for overwintering insects, I thought I’d share this sweet bouquet my friend made. Inspiration in early spring and a great use of those pretty dried flower heads! I’m going to wait a bit longer to do most of my cleanup in order to give the buggies more time to wake up, but I’m definitely going to make myself a similar arrangement soon.

Spring is a time of renewal and growth, and your friend’s bouquet captures that essence beautifully! The combination of dried flower heads in an arrangement can be both charming and sustainable. It’s wonderful to see how creativity can transform something seemingly ordinary into a delightful centerpiece.
Overwintering insects play an essential role in our gardens, so your decision to wait a bit longer for cleanup is thoughtful. By giving them more time to wake up, you’re providing a haven for beneficial bugs and pollinators. Plus, it allows you to enjoy the beauty of those dried flowers a little longer.
As you create your arrangement, consider experimenting with different textures, colors, and shapes. Perhaps mix in some fresh blooms or greenery to complement the dried elements. Whether it’s a rustic farmhouse-style bouquet or a modern minimalist display, let your creativity bloom alongside your garden!
Happy gardening, and may your spring be filled with vibrant colors and natural wonders!
