J Schwanke’s Life In Bloom
Petal Pushers
Season 5
Episode 510
J’s “pushing petals” – literally and figuratively on Life in Bloom. You’ll learn the importance of petal counts for roses, and the importance of retaining the “gard petal”. Together we’ll craft with petals, and create a “Duchess rose.” J assembles an artistic creation that can become an invitation or post card, creates a petal perfect mocktail, and even include petals in an hors d’oeuvre spread.
