Our Gladiolas are in abundance, as multiple succession plantings are blooming, and due to recent evacuations because of local fires, we have a cooler full of colourful flowers that we can't sell, so in this video we are going to do some fun arrangements with Glads. First up is an all Glad arrangement in a vase that Serina got specifically for big tall flowers. Then she needs to do a quick flower harvest to find things that could pass for tropical plants, from our zone 5 Canadian garden, so that she can attempt to put together a tropical inspired arrangement, something completely different than she has ever attempted. Will it turn out to be a success? Let us know what you think in the comments down below.

Ian and Serina of YOU CANT EAT THE GRASS feel that every small change can make a big difference to the world we live in. Every garden planted leads to a better future. We hope to inspire and motivate others to make positive changes in their lives by sharing our journey towards greater sustainability as we build our family farm. It's hard work to build a life worth living, and completely worth it!

There once was a lad named Ian Who was a floral acoustician His wife went mad And bought too many glads So on to the market he be fleein'

@nadinegriffin5252 Год назад

There once was a gal named Serena Who was a floral czarina She took her snips And made lots of clips And danced just like a ballerina

@bethhubbs9937 Год назад

Yay, Limmericks!@@nadinegriffin5252

@radhikam2401 Год назад

That tropical arrangement is worthy of entering into a competition like “Art in Bloom”. ❤

@manosalatierraconPaty Год назад

Oh my God! Serena, that Hawaiian/Canadian arrangement looks amazing. You are so creative.

@re.plantedurbanfarm9918 Год назад

Agreed. I'm pretty impressed

@paisleyjane9606 Год назад

Yup. With glads, you really need mechanics. They're worth it. I always think of them as flower towers.

@soniakirk7909 Год назад

I lived in Hawaii as a child and loved all the flowers available there and I think you totally captured the tropical vibe!

@treesawlimbnahbirch6788 Год назад

If you tape your vase with the floral water proof tape and create a grid it will hold your heavy stems in place. Love the beautiful glads!

@caracoates4834 Год назад

Glads are a line flower. Line flowers are structure of your arrangement. They are also directional so you can use them to accomplish movement in a arrangement. As a ex-florist sometimes we would break just the top very pointy part. It great way to keep that line and some of green buds which give you a different interest than just the blooms at the bottom.

@bettyjocohagen7955 Год назад

The front garden looks FANTASTIC!! AND THE GLADS!!!! MY WORD!!! ❤❤❤

@critcalreader4160 Год назад

This is a wonderful tutorial, especially on how to be creative and resourceful. Eyes and brain, folks, eyes and brain.

@YanickaQuilt Год назад

I have to thank you for my glads in my garden. You've convinced me to order 200 and I am very happy about it. Oh my trick for securing the vase is marbles ❤

@cheskydivision Год назад

I don’t think it’s possible to make a bad arrangement with beautiful plants/flowers.

@PatriciaAShelton-no6cq Год назад

I would love the orange color glads in this arrangement. Both you made are beautiful.

@CatatonicSlug Год назад

imagine adding the orange ones to the tropical arrangement

@tinamariepablo7093 Год назад

I'm from Guam and it's a tropical island and the flowers are beautiful and has a tropical look to it

@asteria4279 Год назад

That tropical arrangement is fascinating. Not something I would think looks good in a store, but it's so striking when placed in your home - like a modern art piece!

@asteria4279 Год назад

The front of your property looks amazing! I don't think we've seen it since you planted it? Please show it again in more detail so we can see the fruits of your labour 😄

@bettyjudd5862 Год назад

Beautiful. L wii be putting my glad in ground in OUT I LIVE IN MI🎉SSOUI LOVE WATCHING

@irynalange8124 Год назад

It's good to take a tall vases for gladiolus.

@shariglasser7192 Год назад

The clothespin boutonniere made me smile. I walk around the house/garden with random misfit flowers/twigs in my hair😅

@brandihunter1518 Год назад

I love quirky Serena arrangements. I'm here for it

@skrtskit1521 Год назад

The arrangements were/are beautiful. Very innovative for the tropical one. 💖💖🎶🎶

@justinspring3422 Год назад

Serena, you are the best! I struggle with gladiolus arrangements and I love your ideas and enthusiasm. I am learning so much from you and your husband.

@thenodiggardener Год назад

Blimey. Two totally different arrangements, but I love them both. The second totally nailed the 'less is more' vibe, and what you were going for. Shows you really do need the skill of knowing when to stop. Beautifully done Serina.

@reneclarkkersanty4256 Год назад

Nice job Serena! You did great…. Don’t critique yourself so hard. Those arrangements are amazing and very creative 🤗🥰💐

@relaxingnatures81 Год назад

@CatatonicSlug Год назад

Serena is so much fun and quirky is a great word to describe this Flower Queen

@carolannjacques268 Год назад

Excellent!

@kazbee6978 Год назад

Love Gladys SOOO much. ❤️ Yours are beautiful. Thanks Serena.

@denvertom7627 Год назад

so pretty. I laughed at the corsage but the red flower looked amazing. ikebana hack: dahlia stems look like bamboo stems...😊

@hanna7644 Год назад

Love your creativity! So fun

@gaysullivan1942 Год назад

I love the “tropical” arrangement!!!

@barbaralamoreaux328 Год назад

I liked this format of changing scenes-I’m sure it was harder to film and edit but it was very appealing. Also the idea of showing how one can use glads in arrangements was great. I hope we see them in some of your market arrangements so we can see even more examples of how to use them.

@Fabdanc Год назад

Glass beads that you put in aquariums are great at the bottom of vases to add weight and they don't look bad. I do it to stop my cats from easily knocking vases over.

@CatatonicSlug Год назад

Or improvise rocks from the garden

@MosaicRose99 Год назад

Beautiful! Glads are my favorite flower. :)

@Elizabeth45840 Год назад

❤❤❤

@beverlyzientara4502 Год назад

Nailed it!!!❤

@angelasharp6869 Год назад

Hubby says go into the chicken wire with a dowel first, stretch out your hole, then insert your stem.

@CatatonicSlug Год назад

Ingenious ❤❤❤❤❤🤩

@mothertreasa Год назад

Great job with the glads!

@gabrielebruhl1218 Год назад

The tropical arrangement could be sold in your stand easy for 40 and also 10 glads of every colour and also some mixed bundled glads😀

@CatatonicSlug Год назад

Bolds and pastels 2 kinds of bunches make is easy

@carolynmoody9460 Год назад

❤❤

@rbud57 Год назад

I just kept nattering to myself as I watched - "floral foam! floral foam!" But then you said you don't use it, for whatever reason... you got pretty creative with it, so carry on. 👍

@janeb1400 Год назад

Your chicken wire, if you don't remember during this video, is in the $1000 arrangement you took to your mother when you went away. 😃

@meghanblackson1054 Год назад

Nailed it, queen!

@marbethduffy8760 Год назад

Serena you did a beautiful job on the arrangement. It's a win.

@shannonwray8037 5 месяцев назад

lovely :) I liked the vase!

@kele1264 Год назад

Stunning colors! The yellow ones and white ones are my favorites. The colors are so clear, so vibrant! Great idea using the glad fronds. Now THERE'S a reason why you shouldn't cut down the cherry trees (aside from keeping Ian in unlimited cherries!). SHADE! Always keep your natural shade options open. I think both arrangements are nice. I love the color explosion of the glad-only one. And I love the visual interest of the the other one. I really like these "made by and made for Serina" videos! Keep 'em coming!

@mimlauj6869 Год назад

You have all the colors of glads needed for a rainbow arrangement! Stack 5 tall and skinny vases of all different heights together. Put each color of glads into one of the 5 vases. For best look, have the height of the flowers stagger in a spiral (like a spiral staircase). I too love glads, and struggle with coming up with different ways to arrange them. Love both of your arrangements!

@CatatonicSlug Год назад

Great idea will try

@sarahracha Год назад

The yellow flower you picked for it’s seed pods is an evening primrose. They are fun to watch open.

@aileensteele7298 Год назад

Love the flowers and arrangements. I had gladiolas in my wedding flowers 55 years ago so I’m a fan. Mahalo.

@rosacintron6849 Год назад

Good morning 😘🌄 I think that you should get a screen sponge and pulled them in with the water they'll make the glaad stand up

@Erin_Wilson_Studios Год назад

I think I only remember glads from funeral arrangements.

@CatatonicSlug Год назад

I think they are used a lot in funeral arrangements , sadly have an association for being the "FUNERAL FLOWER "

@CatatonicSlug Год назад

I work at a funeral home and see a lot of yellow and white glads used for funeral arrangements, especially in early spring funerals.

@julievanerem9578 Год назад

Simply cut the stems, use a taller weighted bottom vase. Simple solutions. In your solid container use some oasis. Ive worked with Glad for over 30 years, in all variations. They are wonderful, you just have to know how to use them. Shorter stems to the sides, longer stems as you work toward the middle, creating a grid with stems that will hold the taller ones in place. Keep practicing, you will get it.

@anneramirez9577 Год назад

I think you’re going to make it work, because somehow, even when it looks like it won’t work, you make it work !🎉

@cashk100 Год назад

Glads are my favourite flower. Unfortunately I had thrips this year and couldn’t control them.

@lenazagorodny1399 Год назад

How is it that Serena looks so sophisticated in that jumper and when I try to wear one, I look like a giant toddler?

@Mominna2314 Год назад

Serena your arrangements are fun and fantastic born from your creative mind. Unique and unexpected. Lovely Canadian tropical arrangement.😊

@heathernotzdaniels6350 Год назад

Glads are absolutely my favorite favorite favorite flower ever. They are one of the first ones I fell in love with at my Grandma's house, and I have never lost that love. So pretty. I just wanted to hold the ones you were carrying, Serina! My first wedding I had peach glads in my bouquet, it was gorgeous.

@cashk100 Год назад

I love when you make these personal bouquet 💐 videos, they are so informative. Thanks for sharing. I feel like I can become a florist from watching you. 🌸🌺🌼🌹

@gafairbanks2434 Год назад

I'm in zone 6, minus -20° F some days (20-35) thru winter. I have not had to dig up my glads in over 10 years ! I just plant the bulbs deeper ( 8-10") Course now I have so many babies each year, have to dig bulbs up and give away or transplant to other areas. Deeper keeps the 4/5 foot plants Standing with huge blooms of beauty.

@geisterglow4857 Год назад

so beautiful, so gorgeous! 😍💗💗💗

@altheab.8907 Год назад

Like your tropical bouquet. Looks great. Your boutonnière is turning into a corsage. LOL

@vickyliu9641 Год назад

My mom put at the bottom of a vase a metal spike block, which holds up her bouquet including Glads.

@Taliesin1997 Год назад

Flower frog it's called.

@nettiewiese6444 Год назад

❤❤❤Just Love you two, your videos and your farm!

@altheab.8907 Год назад

Check out inexpensive waste baskets to use as vases. Or look for some florist vases at thrift shops…not that you have much time for shopping. My favorite vase to use is shaped like an urn. Do you ever offer a bunch of glads in you roadside stand?

@CatatonicSlug Год назад

Did Serena say something about Glads being a low seller because they are associated with funerals? (*in a previous video along the way)

@CatatonicSlug Год назад

Read commentary about this in detail in a previous video, there was discussion on what feeling Glads evoke and it was surprising to hear how Glads are perceived in different parts of the World.

@CatatonicSlug Год назад

Either love them or hate them because they are generally associated as funeral flowers.

@SammieSea Год назад

Serena, get some vase frogs!

@lindapeterson2684 Год назад

You NAIL IT….Ha ha bravo👍. I love what you arranged good choices and asymmetry….especially using the branch and curved wired glad leaves. Very Ikebana…

@ayelet517 Год назад

Thanks guys! So fun! I’m still waiting to see what Ian can produce. Or now that you have an employee Ian doesn’t need to learn? Can you try only pink, only yellow, orange, green bouquets using the same mix of flowers? Limiting the amount, size, color, style forces one to be even more creative. Love these “what can I make myself” videos. Hope they are quick and easy to make so that we get to see more more more beautiful flowers.

@galinasadakova380 Год назад

Добрый день, мои замечательные👍❤️🌺 Сетка в вазе решит вашу проблему с гладиолусами. Любуюсь вами, столько любви к цветам, энергии положительной. Успехов вам в вашем прекрасном бизнесе.🇷🇺❤️🇷🇺

@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica Год назад

They are absolutely gorgeous!

@eyrerosecottage1970 Год назад

nice arrangements!

@taniabudge5418 Год назад

Have you ever left some glads in the ground to see if they will overwinter? I’m in zone 4, and I didn’t dig them up when I planted them 3 years ago, and they have returned each year.

@cottingwhite7784 Год назад

Really pretty 😍

@lois4329 Год назад

Ohhh yeah you are a Nailed it Queen 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@halinawiecek2297 Год назад

Serena flowers 🌺🌹 look beautiful.

@natasha1369 Год назад

When its time could you go through how to process the glads and the steps to taking them up and storing them. Pretty😊 please

@a.c.ewarrior5101 6 месяцев назад

with tall flowers, you can start with leaves, they will help the flowers hold their position and have more control

@coloradotulips Год назад

I too love gladiolus! I’ve had wonderful luck with buying from Longfield Gardens in the US - I’m getting stalks with 15+ blooms. What a gorgeous arrangement! When I have a beautiful single stem or up to 2-3 stems, I’ll put them into a tall vessel with a narrow opening - I’ve repurposed some gorgeous crystal decanters. Even a great wine bottle works. I’m so Glad you love Glads!

@DianeBickle-fi1nm Год назад

Glads are beautiful

@lois4329 Год назад

Wow beautiful. When you started ‘vasing’, I thought ‘Frog’ and you in essence create a giant one…lol😂 super idea 💡 ❤

@TheFeelButton Год назад

Flower power!

@millennialbuddhism2619 Год назад

creating a grid with tape is the best way to get them to stand up!

@kelleyforeman Год назад

I need to buy a couple hundred glads. You've convinced me!!

@chanellearf2141 Год назад

@xtreemesteemcoaching Год назад

@ljudmilabem1098 Год назад

Great job!!! Love your videos 💮

@ЛилияКосьюга Год назад

Thanks for the video! Very beautiful gladioli. I used to grow them just for myself, but I think they are better suited for bouquets than for landscaping.

@samanthaw1419 Год назад

I think you put too much in the tropical arrangement, hard to do minimal when you like to maximise.😁 I have glad vases, they are about 60 cm tall very wide at the bottom with a narrow slit top opening, also good for giant lilies and delphiniums. I think you need a trip to the thrift stores for a variety of vases, I like the bouquet making videos. Outside is looking fabulous❤ Have you looked at the short glads? They only grow to 30 cm - 50cm tall, much easier to use in arrangements. x

@laurielyman9185 Год назад

To keep vases standing, put a few rocks in the bottom. Your tape idea is good, but put the tape in a grid fashion over the opening of the vase and put one stem in every hole or wherever you want them. A very heavy bottom vase will he❤lp.

@hopemorrison2367 Год назад

Wow that is smart

@cbak1819 Год назад

They make a metal grid thing like a chicken wire ... Lisa Mason Z sells them on The Gardener workshop. Also you can ball uph chicken wire.

@mrhomo2194 11 месяцев назад

use waterfalling flowers like love lies bleeding under the gladiolus blooms and around the rim of the vase. Then you get the stability without getting rid of the height of your gladiolus

@idanoe9286 Год назад

I love Glads ❤ lost most of mine to thrips this year and the rest to vandalism 😢 Both of your arrangements are beautiful.

@fetch33 Год назад

I am in zone 5b and my glads come back every year. Perhaps experiment with some and mulch in the fall.

@kathleenvadney6217 Год назад

Use scrunched poultry wire for any arrangement in a large container. Even slender vases hold the flowers in place better.

@AlexAlex-gj4jd Год назад

Time for some wholesale sales?? The glads are gorgeous! 🌻

@eileeng7102 Год назад

Do you ever have problems with thrips destroying your gladiolas? My daughter has a flower farm in PA and the thrips have eaten all her glad flowers. Do you think growing them the way you do would change that? Love to hear your response! Your arrangements were awesome!

@DawnPalmer55 Год назад

You can also fill the rest of the vase with water, around the jars, and then you can fill it as full as you want! I think the fern would look good in the second arrangement as well.
