Visitos of my web site may be interested in the gardening or flower crafts. Let me explain my "After Gardening" as you may wonder "What is it?" There are many ways to enjoy the gardening such as "growing plants from the seeds" and "create the well desinged garden". My original motive of gardening was to enjoy the beautiful garden scenary from living room. Yet, flower's life garden is very short, and even the cut flower lasts only three to four days. To enjoy flowers a little longer, I seslected species suitable for dried flower arrangements, and start crafting dried flower arrangements. |

There are several ways to enjoy the flower after the gardening such as pressed flower, bottled flower and pot pouuri. Among them, I chose the dried flower arrangement as you could enjoy the flower with its original form in your living room. Typical dried flower materials are roses and lavenders. Yet, if you could dry flowers in a short period of times, 70 to 80% of house plants can be used as the material of dried arrangements. |  Material of the arrangements |
 | If you are the gardner with flower and greens in your garden and containers, please try the drying the flowers and greens. So you could enjoy your flowers a little longer in your living room. Although everyone may imagine the pale brown leaves as the dried flower material, you could create the beautiful dried flower by drying flowers and greens in your garden. |
