You must have been learning flower arrangements for a long period of time. Or you have been engaged in making floral decorations for several years. By now you have experienced to make various types of flower arrangements. However you now feel a little bit bored with your style of flower designs and want to challenge something new.
If you are in this kind of situation and feel a little bit bored with a regular kind of flower arranging, why not learn something new to you such as vegetable arrangements, fruits decorations or garden arrangements featuring both of vegetables and fruits ?
Since these arrangements feature fruits and/or vegetables rather than flowers, you need to go to a grocery store instead of flower markets looking for creative fresh elements for your designs. Thanks to the operation of green house, you can now procure various vegetables and fruits throughout the year.
You may use any kind of fresh elements you like as far as the color coordination of arrangements results attractive. Following vegetables and fruits are often used for this kind of design which is often called Garden Arrangement:
Pumpkin, potato, tomato, corn, white onion, yellow color hot pepper, green pepper, red pepper, cucumber, egg plant, banana, strawberry, apple, orange, grape and pear whatsoever. Again there is no rule about the choice and selection of fresh elements. Thus you can select whatever vegetable or fruit you want to use for your unique decoration. Some designers use even garlic which is quite interesting.
Some people want to make garden arrangement without using any flowers but some use flowers as well. In any case, using vegetables or fruits will offer somewhat different atmosphere and people who view this type of arrangement must be really impressed with the new concept of arrangement.
Since the majority of fresh items are good ingredients for cooking or desert, it is highly recommended to display this type of arrangement for a short period of time. Otherwise you will miss the right timing for using these valuable ingredients for your dinner table.
For your appreciation and evaluation purpose, some pictures showing garden arrangements using vegetables or fruits can be viewed in the slide show of this article.
