NOTES
Now that spring is well and truly under way it's time to flex my flower arranging muscles again and make something big and dramatic! I choose a rusted urn - we collect these old garden urns from antique markets and reclamation yards; they often have holes in the bottom as they are used to display plants outdoors so to make them water tight we fill the bases with concrete (or you can just find a suitably sized liner pot to insert inside).
