My mother had a thriving business making dried floral arrangements  for over 15 years.  Through trial and error she discovered the best techniques for drying flowers, collecting objects in nature and creating stunning arrangements, wreaths and topiaries, including a system for creating beautiful long lasting hydrangea wreaths.  Our Garden Plot wants to give mom a space to show the techniques she perfected as owner of JoyAnne Wreaths. Our hope is that these tutorials will help others create their own decorative pieces or even their own small business from the beautiful gifts found in nature.

This summer my son’s video production company, Amberillian Productions worked with mom to create the first video in the  JoyAnne Wreaths  tutorial series. 

Mom spent many years perfecting her craft. She is now 82 years young. She creates lovely floral arrangements for friends and family members but she no longer sells her work. There are more tutorials on the JoyAnne Wreaths tutorials page along with the opportunity to make a donation to support JoyAnne Wreaths and any future tutorials.

Please let us know if the tutorial was helpful or if you have any questions. We welcome your ideas for future dried flower arrangement tutorials, too. Thanks for watching and reading!
