Create a floral design that captures the essence and energy of a buzzing pollinator garden in the height of summer—when pollinators like bees and butterflies are at their busiest, and flower gardens are bursting with color and scent.
Designing with pollinator-friendly flowers and a unique frame, create an arrangement with an airy, naturalistic design.
