#410: Ask A Florist, with Ellen Frost

This episode of Field & Garden is a replay of a recent Ask Me Anything event with guest host Ellen Frost, one of our online instructors and the owner/head designer of Local Color Flowers in Baltimore, Maryland.

Ellen shares practical floral design advice for working with seasonal, locally grown flowers — including favorite foliage for September weddings, how to keep hydrangeas hydrated, reliable flowers for fall boutonnieres, ways flower farmers can practice designing with what they grow, and why fall can be a great time to connect with florists.
