Nothing says spring like a basket of flowers, and this potted basket arrangement is fun and fairly easy to make.

Floral Tip: You don’t even have to use additional planting soil. You will put several sheets of large sized bubble wrap in the bottom of the basket then put the daffodils that are still in their plastic containers on top of the bubble wrap. For this arrangement, using bubble wrap instead of additional planting soil is cleaner and easier, and the basket weighs less than surrounding the pots with dirt. I hope you save your bubble wrap like I do. The bubble wrap in this basket arrangement was used before.
