The preparations for the upcoming Family Day at Como Gardens to be held on the 17th February at their beautiful grounds in The Basin, is well under way.

Melbourne Ikebana will be participating with demonstrations and a display.   Many visitors are expected and this gives Melbourne Ikebana a wonderful opportunity to display this art to people who may be new to the concept of Ikebana.

Rainy Day Books at the roundabout in the Basin has already set up their window display featuring an Ikebana flower arrangement surrounded by books dealing with the subject.

Coming Events

Our first meeting for 2013 will be at 10.30 am on Tuesday 12th February at Toorak Uniting Church Hall, 603 Toorak Road, Toorak.  Visitors welcome.

There will also be an opportunity to hear Rosemary Parry-Brock explain the Ikebana Melbourne Blog on this day - what it's aim is and how to navigate it without hassle.  Rosemary will answer any of your questions.  If you have any suggestions you would like to offer as to how we can make our blog a glowing showcase for our activities and work, then take advantage of this opportunity.    It's YOUR blog, so your creative suggestions will enhance it's presence on the internet.

Please bring a summer arrangement.

In Christopher James' arrangement below he has used material sparingly (as befits our depleted gardens at this time of year) and water is a feature.  (The photo attached comes with Chris' permission).
