Flower Crowns Aren't Just a Snapchat Filter

1/31/2018

Members of Garden Club had a fun adventure recently creating floral crowns with florist Andrea Hammel of Peterman's Florist in Altoona. Most of the Grier Garden Club members were quite familiar with the concept of flower crowns because it is a favorite filter in the popular photo-sharing app Snapchat, but they had never made their own crowns before.

Andrea demonstrated how to manipulate wire, florist tape, and pieces of greenery, and blossoms to create lovely crowns to adorn the heads of Garden Club members and their friends. They agreed that the real thing was better than a filter, any day!
