10/05/2017 12:01 AMAt the August meeting of the Daytime Gardeners, club members and guests were treated to a slide show by club president Sally Brockett and to a demonstration on arranging flowers in the ikebana style presented by flower show judge Helen Nado. The group then used a variety of materials to create their individual arrangements in assorted containers.
Ikebana is the nature-based Japanese art form of arranging a few flowers and branches, expressing asymmetry and harmony. Ancient rules and principles were established over its long history, and priests were the first to create ikebana as offerings in their shrines. Originally, only branches were used in the designs. Later, flowers were included in the arrangements.
