It's such a pleasure to have a garden where you can pick flowers for bouqets. In this video I'm showing you how I make a hand-tied bouquet using the spiral technique. It's such a great technique.

The main flower in the bouquet is dahlia 'Eveline', and I compare the dahlia flowers with Thalictrum rochebrunianum, Hosta flowers and Eryngium planum.

My name is Claus Dalby, and I live in Risskov on the outskirts of Aarhus in Denmark. To date, I have written about 30 books on flowers and gardens in Danish, and my garden has been featured on many TV shows. In March 2022 my first book in English will be available. I consider my home (built in1908), and its garden with its neighboring wood, as my sanctuary. When I started gardening in 1996, there was just a large lawn covering approximately 1 acre (4,000 square meters), but today the grass is long gone - replaced by 15 hedged rooms with varying colors and moods. Additionally, one of my great passions is growing in pots, arranged to create spectacular container gardens, which I will share quite a bit about on this channel. Decor and creating moods have always interested me - both outside and inside - and I love to use the flowers from my garden for bouquets and to inspire other crafts that create a sense of hygge.
