Farmers Market Arrangement - A Floral Design Challenge

Hi! I'm Ellen. I'm a florist, newsletter writer and host of FlowerMore (flowermore.mn.co/) an online community of flower nerds who dig deep into the endlessly fascinating world of flowers!

My online community, FlowerMore (flowermore.mn...., is the place to take your flower obsession to the next level and nerd out on flowers!
In this video I make an arrangement with elements from my farmers market. I use foliage, flowers, fruit and vegetables. I even borrowed a bushel basket to hold my vase. This is a design challenge for my online community, FlowerMore. Each month I make a inspo video for members to flex their design skills. We then share and talk about what we made. It's dope.
For this themed arrangement I use a variety of herbs for my foliage including sage, rosemary, flowering oregano and lemon verbena. For flowers, I'm going with a lot of yellows, whites and some red highlights. I use rudbeckia 'Henry Eislers,' marigolds, cosmos, celosia. The amaranth changes up the color with a dark red. Pink and yellow dahlias are my focal.
The basket, herbs and bushy full design style give this arrangement a farmers market feel. But, to really show off the growers' produce I stick in some fruits and vegetables: donut peach, mushrooms and elderberries.
