Annual GTGC Holiday Workshop


​On December 7, we were treated to a fabulous workshop at Laurentide Farm. We each chose a fresh green or grapevine wreath and adorned them with wild materials from the extensive perennial gardens on the property. All had a wonderful morning creative our unique holiday wreath! Special thanks to our Floral Design Chair, Susan Terris, for organizing a terrific event!

​​IN-CLUB FLOWER SHOW – At the Movies - November 9, 2021

At our November 9, 2022 membership meeting, we featured an At the Movies themed flower show presented by our Floral Design Chair, Susan Terris and her committee. 

Teams of active and active associate members each chose a movie from varied genres and created a tablescape reflecting their team's choice. The results 
were spectacular!

​Perfect interpretation of "Gone Fishing."  No sinkers here!

A note from Kristin: 

My favorite arrangement, any time of year, is a layered arrangement made of greens from the garden.

Because this was the first Virtual Flower Show I thought that at least one type of bloom should be included in my Gone Fishin’ arrangement. This simple Father’s Day arrangement, in a vintage fishing creel, started with Hosta leaves as the base and while our Iris blooms had come and gone, their long leaves were perfect for height. The feathery fronds of Japanese Painted Ferns and the upright structure of Salvia, used as the middle layers, rounded out the arrangement.

What fun I had creating this piece. Thanks fo Cato and Cindy for encouraging me, as a novice, to enter the show! I am flattered to have been chosen the winner!

Choice of plant material is stunning. The leather straps on the creel lead your eye into the design. Placement
of butterfly stem on the right distracts from the balance of the design.

A lush combination of plant material. Gerbera Daisy color and placement divides the design.

​A cheerful arrangement with high visual impact. Choice of sunflowers compliments the container. Lacks height.
