Ingredient Notes
- Pumpkin - the size of the pumpkin you choose will determine how big your centerpiece is. If you want a big "wow" centerpiece for the middle of the table, choose a medium-sized pumpkin. If you want a small centerpiece for each place setting, use a small pumpkin.
- Colorful flowers - Any flowers will do. These flowers can be store bought or hand picked. These centerpieces feature zinnias, but you could feature anything you want including sunflowers, roses, carnations, and more.
- Cannabis - It is up to you whether you would like to use fan leaves or flower buds. If you use a flower bud, let the recipient know that they can dry it and use it after they have enjoyed the arrangement.
- Floral foam - Easily found at your local craft store or online, this floral foam is needed to help keep the flowers in place when putting them inside the pumpkin.
- Wooden skewer - this will be used to skewer the top of the pumpkin and place it in the arrangement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Creating a cannabis floral arrangement can be brand new to even the most seasoned cannabis consumer, so here are some of the most common FAQs I get asked about this piece from my Well With Cannabis Community.
No, you can easily find floral foam in your local store like Walmart or buy it online, like this product found on Amazon.
The sky is the limit here. If you're strapped for time, purchase a premed bouquet from the store and arrange it as desired. If you have a local farmers market, get flower arrangements there if possible. Opt for a mix of shorter and taller flowers, to create more visual appeal in the arrangement.
If you keep the floral foam wet and the flowers watered, this arrangement should last anywhere from 3-5 days. If needed, store in the refrigerator for longer storage.
