"My Happy Place" Was second runner up.

"Heaven on Earth!" Was the third place runner up.

Every garden is so beautiful. It's nice to see all of the creativity, their flower gardens, vegetable gardens and a mix of both. Great job to all the participants.

Floral Designer, Carleen Daly, created this showcase arrangement after admiring the prominent red veins of the Swiss Chard leaves. "They are very noticeable and I thought, they were perfect to bring out the red in the Orchids, as well as the unique dried stems. The blue-green foliage brought it all together."

Stop in any day to see Carleen's fresh and silk arrangements. If you have a wedding or party coming up, let us help you with the floral creations!
