There's nothing like large vases filled with blooming branches to announce the arrival of spring. Just trim the branches from deciduous flowering trees or shrubs, arrange them in a vase, and watch the delicate buds unfurl.
Pruning at this time of year is good for your tree too; it thins out the canopy so branches won't be overcrowded.
Follow the steps below to create your own spectacular arrangement.
If you don't have a flowering tree or shrub, you can buy blooming branches at many floral shops.
