At Flowers 4 Nelson we aim to satisfy all requests for floral design.   Recently I was asked by a funeral director, to make a casket spray for a local Fisherman that had pased away.    It was an interesting assignment , and the result was a casket spray with flowers around the sides as normal, but with the central top part in a fishing scene with a net stretched over the surface and wooden fish ‘swimming’ into it; also a couple of fishing rods complete with hooks made from florist wire.   The white statice I used was suggestive of the sea foam of waves in the ocean.  I find it great fun to work out and make designs to satisfy my customers.

I am planting more Ranunculus bulbs today for spring flowers.  If you are planting the bulbs it is a good idea to soak the bulbs in water the night before  to allow them to swell up and take in water for a quicker start into growth when you plant them.

We are gathering orders now for ANZAC Day wreaths for those who are wanting to lay wreaths at ANZAC services in the Nelson region contact Carl to discuss wreaths and the colour themes you require.   phone Nelson  03 545 2196
