Where to shop

Grocery stores now have a wide variety of fresh flowers to choose from for very little cost.

A little something extra

To add a special touch, as well as extra color and texture to your arrangement, fill an old canning jar with lemon slices. The sliced lemons help anchor flowers in the jar and the smell wonderful.

Keep costs down

The secret to keeping any arrangement affordable is to save money on the vase or container.

Jars make great vases and add a natural, rustic feel to fresh flowers.
