Next, I went to a Garden store, just right outside my city, of Vancouver, in Burnaby. Apart from floral wholesalers that sell to licensed retailers, in the long run, buying plotted plants and florals may be an alternative source for certain flowers and greeneries.
This week, I ventured out to a few stores to look for supplies and tools needed for my DIY flower bouquet. To get started, I went to (a Canadian) Michaels craft store (top right), then I continued to look online to compare prices. The various resources I found are pinned on a new board I created on my Pinterest account, called Floral Supplies / Materials. Furthermore, these items could also be ordered on Amazon and Walmart by looking up each item independently.

During my visit to Michaels, there was a 80% sale on some faux summer flowers. Since I had some left over from my wedding, I figured I could reuse them, and with the new stems, create a number of bridal bouquets. Although, they are not fresh cut and handle differently, I figured I could start practicing colour & shape arrangements and hand tying for next week. I will also collect the needed supplies and tools to start understanding how to work with them. Due to time constraint, I may decide to buy the materials from Michaels with their often occurring 40% or 50% online coupons plus the additional 15% discount for teachers. Stay posted!

Some very interesting concepts of how the education system needs to be adjusted.
Very informative. Although quite repetitive and a few oddly worded parts.

Easy read. Interesting perspective and reminder for many aspects of how to look at one's own work and work habits.
