Last weekend I had the opportunity to give an ikebana demonstration at the Botanical garden here in Oslo. The event took place in a beautiful building that house the old Botanical museum. The museum holds a large herbarium and a study collection of botanical objects, so it felt like a good place to exhibit flowers. To add to the ambiance, I also made a few ikebana arrangements for the newly renovated entrance hall.

All the botanical materials used in the exhibition and demonstration came from the botanical garden, which is a rare treat since it is normally strictly forbidden to cut anything inside the garden. I will post photos from the demonstration later this week, so stay tuned.
