Floral Arrangements Guide

Unlike most creative arts, floral arrangement has the advantage of natural, not man-made material.

In all the centuries of mankind we have been unable to reproduce the thrilling combination of soft texture, graceful lines, radiant color and delicate scent found in a single rose.

Science has, however, greatly advanced the planting of garden flowers by constant research and experiment.

History shows us that as far back as 562 B.C., King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon designed the beauti­ful "Hanging Gardens" for his wife, Amytis. They are one of the "Seven wonders of the world."

Today we see about us our own lovely gardens, some formal, some informal, designed to enclose our homes in an aura of enchantment.

The desire to bring some of this beauty into our homes gave birth to the art of flower arrangement, which is by no means a new one.

The Japanese people used it centuries ago in their daily life and re­ligion. There it is called "Ikebana" and is an art for all of us.

All we need is the appreciation of beauty and a few flower arrangement implements.

The fields, woods, brookbanks, gardens, and of course your local flower shop are abun­dant with the many varieties of plant materials used in flower arrange­ment.

As you page through this site, you will find that it tells in simple copy and illustrations, just what you want to know about your new hobby.

The possibilities of Floral Arrangements are unlimited.

MEETING ROOM DESIGNS
Matt Bacak
Theater Style Theater-style seating consists of several rows of chairs facing the front of the room. This arrangement works best for formal presentations, where participants are focused on the presenter. Because there are no tables, this arrangement isn't conducive to taking notes or working on a laptop. Because participants can't easily take notes in a theater-style arrangement, you should make the presentation available to attendees in written or electronic format. This style is one of the best for large groups, but it should also be noted that some people are uncomfortable without a desk or table in front of them. Classroom Style A classroom-style setup uses long, narrow tables placed in front of rows of chairs - all facing the speaker. This setup is ideal for formal presentations in front of medium-sized to large groups where the audience is expected to take notes. Using the tables, participants can write notes, work on their laptops or use PDAs. Surge protectors and extension cords should be strategically placed so that they are available to everyone, but not in the way. The presenter can use either a screen or an interactive whiteboard with his computer. Banquet Style A banquet-style setup consists of several tables scattered throughout the room. This setup is perfect for small breakout sessions or collaborative work groups. You shouldn't use this style for very large groups or seminars where speakers or presenters will be setup at the front of the room. Smaller groups usually work best with this style of room. U-Shape Style A U-shaped arrangement is ideal if participants need to see the front of the room and work in small groups. Because this style is conducive to both formal presentations and collaborative work, it combines the best of both worlds. Meeting or seminar participants can comfortably watch presentations in the front of the room, while still maintaining contact with the people around them.
