    I am so pleased that I was able to be of assistance and promise to offer up as much information as I can. Once I am up to speed and all basic fundamentals have been covered we will move on to wedding design and anything else you would like help with. It is a beautiful art and one I have enjoyed for over 40 years.... Love for now Astar

    Tiggy stardust, YOU’RE DARN RIGHT! Her voice gets your attention and makes you hipe up. It challenges you.She made her presentation interesting and I love her accent. Indeed! Indeed! She’s perfect to be a class room teacher. I watch her videos to relax me too. Good watching.

    I just discovered Astar's Place and I LOVE the videos!! My sister is getting married next summer, and we have opted to go with fake flower arrangements. Rather than hire someone to arrange the flowers we bought for us, I would like to try doing them myself. These videos are FANTASTIC!!

    This was very helpful along with your "Formal Church Arrangement Floristry Tutuorial." I was asked to make a stage arrangements for a Christian Assembly at Mayo Civic Center in Rochester, MN. A friend and I watched your videos and went for it. I would love to post a photo of our arrangements and show what we were able to accomplish with your help! Thanks so much! Clear, interesting, complete instructions that were just what we needed! Thank you!

    Hi Astar, thank you so much for sharing the knowledge and what a perfect timings to see the green arrangement as its all coming back again. Even though it was uploaded 3 years ago, I'm seeing it again from center pieces to bridal bouquets. The best part about your tutoring is that, that its not fussy and longer and it's easy to follow the instructions and not stuck with only and only fresh flowers but you also teach how to arrange it with artificials. Not everyone can afford fresh flowers all the times, sometimes they wanted to see their creations longer then couple of weeks. Sometimes the weather plays a role not to grow certain flowers or foliages in that area. Your consideration of requests and making a videos for people of every budget, from small arrangements to an elaborate ones shows how much you care for your viewers. Plus the other things that you teach besides flower arrangements, so everybody gets variety of things. I'm very glad that I stumbled on one of your videos one day and now I'm a subscriber and loyal follower of your channel. Thanks again for all your teachings.

I have recently worked with middle school children in a Floral Culture Competition, that is part of Future Farmers of America program in our public schools. I would love to show them some of your videos because you teach the basics better than I do! So I hope you don't mind! I am so glad I found your videos and I have subscribed. Love your style, keep up the beautiful work! Theresa from Delaware, USA.

I am delighted and excited to here that the future generation of children are FINALLY being taught about 'things from the land'. I was very lucky to be raised in a rural environment and grew to love, respect and be inspired on the joys of nature and growing things. We have just entered SPRING here in NZ and the joy watching new growth is a true blessing. Love for now Astar
