Coconut, strawberries, eggs, herbs, bok choy can all be used to create unusual and unique arrangements for decorating your home. Will's tips include:

To make an oasis base (florist foam) more attractive you can wrap the sides in leaves then tie string around it. The base can be cut in a non-symmetrical shape and the sides wrapped in bark for added variety.

Don't use even numbers of plants or flowers in your floral design. Will always uses odd numbers.

Don't be afraid to use just one flower (less can be more). Go for rich deep colours and try using strange textures.
