    <description><![CDATA[The Harvest Dried Wreath is one of the more involved pieces we make. It takes five days because several of the materials need time to set before the wreath can be handled without damage. This is a walkthrough of the process, partly so customers know what they are getting, and partly because it is a piece that home crafters sometimes want to try themselves.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[The weekly subscription is the part of the business Samuel started with and has kept closest to the original idea. A bundle of whatever is best that week, wrapped and ready. No fixed recipe, no substitution policy, no algorithm deciding what goes in. Here is what it actually looks like from week to week, and what to expect if you are considering signing up.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Dahlias have a reputation for being short-lived, and it is not entirely undeserved. Left in a warm room with no preparation, a dahlia can look tired within two days. But with a few straightforward steps done right after you get them home, most varieties will hold well for seven to ten days. This is how we handle them in the studio.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Foliage is often the part of an arrangement that people think least about, but in autumn it is frequently the most interesting element in the vase. The California coast does not give us the dramatic maple reds of the interior, but there is still a lot to work with: oak, eucalyptus, rosehip, dried seed pods, and the turning colour of ornamental grasses.

    <description><![CDATA[About a third of what comes out of the Dune Wildflower studio is dried or preserved material. We have been doing it long enough to know which flowers dry well without any intervention, which need a little help, and which are not worth the effort. Here is what we have learned, applied to a home setting rather than a studio.]]></description>
