Bring Spring into Your Home

Are you impatient for winter to end? One way that you can enjoy a little bit of Spring while there is still snow on the ground is to force flowers indoors. Just go out and cut the branches. When you bring your pussy willows, forsythia and dogwood home, place them in water right away and with sharp pruning shears cut the ends off under water. Fill your floral container with warm water. After several hours, change the water and add floral preservative and once again re-cut the stems under water. They are beautiful.
