EXPLORE THE JAPANESE FLORAL ART OF IKEBANA
Sarasota, Florida Chapter #115Ikebana is great medicine for stress, a troubled mind, and a gloomy mood. It is very therapeutic. If you think or do other things at the same time, your brain becomes really active, which helps to prevent deterioration of your brain function. So, observe flowers and shrubs along the road when you are walking and imagine your flower arrangement using those materials. I hope you enjoy learning about the beauty of Ikebana flower arranging and enjoy creating your own designs. Have fun with the friends you will make and the camaraderie you will share being part of the group.
