Insert Ferns for a Foundation

Red Rose Arrange Ferns
You can buy ferns at any florist and most grocery stores. Many flowers are sold with ferns as part of the bunch.

Cut the ferns to a length that will fit your bowl. Be sure to have longer stems that will go to the bottom of the bowl and that the fern stems cross at the bottom and form the base for the flower stems.

Trailing ivy is a nice alternative or addition to ferns. Strip the leaves off the bottom of the stems and arrange the long stems so that they go to the bottom of the bowl.
