Ariella Chezar hosted a workshop at Chalk Hill Clematis Farm, where attendees soaked up the designer’s signature floral style and a little California sun.
Relying on local and seasonal blooms, Ariella’s floral arrangements are best described as wild, romantic masterpieces, and she’s able to make something as simple as fruit-bearing branches look like a Dutch still-life painting. The eight attendees travelled from near and far in hopes of capturing a bit of Ariella’s artistic magic during the master class.

They are planning a number of floral shows Nov-Aug 2014 in Newton Abbot, Bristol, Manchester, Norwich and Oxford, England. The shows are a completely new concept involving top Master Florists and Chelsea Floristry medal winners, such as the Academy’s own Julie Collins and Tina Parkes, making floral designs on stage, with music and lights to create a mood of Africa.
Funds from the ticket sales, raffles, collection buckets and the auction of staged show designs will all be donated to the cause. All proceeds, after expenses, will go to WaterAid.

It is said that the original parrot tulip was traded for property in Holland over 100 year ago. A property that in today’s standards was worth several hundred thousand dollars! Unfortunately, the plant died within a year, due to a virus which was cause of the unusual blooms.
Today we can enjoy these beautiful flowers for a great deal less, and, from the benefit of hybridization – not virus!
