Fred Gibbons, owner of the popular Los Angeles florist shop Treefrogs, offers tips for creating an arrangement that is as unique as it is lovely. Cut Styrofoam to fit bottom of basket or box, and place inside. Cut wheatgrass to fit, and place on top of Styrofoam. Trim tops of grass for a more manicured look.
Pierce pear with stake.
Cut exposed end of stake to desired length, and push through grass and into Styrofoam to secure. Repeat as often as desired. Place roses in tubes, and insert into arrangement, filling in spaces between pears. Click here for a printable version of this page. All rights reserved.
