Use of Environment-friendly Fixing Materials in Flower Arrangement

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was purposed to propose environment-friendly flower arrangement methods by suggesting flower fixing materials those are excellent in fixing ability as a pin-holder or floral foam, harmless to the environment, and highly aesthetic. For this purpose, we analyzed the works presented in the florist training program of German GBF (Grunbergr Bildungszentrum Floristik) in August, 2008. In the analysis, fixing materials were grouped into materials obtainable from nature, and recycled ones. When flowers were arranged
using plant organs, namely, leaf, stem, root, and berry as flower fixing materials, they were good as floral foam in fixing ability, and were excellent in erecting flowers. In addition, recycled materials were not good
as natural objects in fixing ability, but showed possibilities in fixing and erecting as long as flowers are selected fittingly for the empty space and bearing force of such materials. As presented above, natural objects
including plants and recycled products used as environment-friendly flower fixing materials showed fixing and erecting abilities as good as a pin-holder or floral foam. Accordingly, it is considered desirable to restrain the
use of floral foam as much as possible and to arrange flowers with environment-friendly materials.
