It's an honour to win FREESIA's inaugural organic challenge, the Organic Hand-tied Bouquet, in April 2022.
All materials used in this design were biodegradable and compostable. The challenge was to find methods/materials that are friendly to our environment.
I used to be torn between this craft and its environmental impact. I aim to cut down on wastage and one-time-use materials, and to recycle materials if possible. Fast forward to Aug 2021, I joined 'Organics: Sostenibles con Flores' - an online course led by renowned masters, Gregor Lersch & Hitomi Gilliam, to re-learn my craft in a greener way. I'm even happier to see this effort continues to flourish with FREESIA*.
To be upfront about my commercial works, they are not fully/highly organic yet. But, I'm now armed with better knowledge and will continue to look for better ways/methods to overcome some of the challenges.
