Save the Date: Fall Floral Showcase
October 10, 2012
Bellingrath Gardens and Home is pleased to once again present the Fall Floral Showcase on Wednesday, October 10, 2012. This year's event will feature James Farmer of James Farmer Designs located in Kathleen, Georgia. James has been described in his book, A Time to Plant, as "a vital young voice in the gardening scene teaching a new generation of Southerners to love gardening and to make it a focal point of their lifestyle".
The day will include a floral demonstration by James and lunch with James and Bellingrath's own Dr. Bill Barrick. After lunch, the pair will lead a special tour through the Gardens to discuss the fall plants and how to use them in floral arrangements. The day will conclude with tours through the Bellingrath Museum that feature floral arrangements by some of the region's top floral designers.
Stay tuned for registration details and the participating floral designers.
