Have you ever thought about the symbolic value that flowers have in our society? We use them for weddings, for funerals, as a gift to the person we love, or as a thank you and on various occasions as a tribute. In short, in addition to being a beautiful decorative element, flowers have a real social value.

Materials:

1 large pot

garden netting 

a plastic tube

baling wire or zip ties
