Floral Designers, this is your time. No clients, just your choices. Let your imagination soar and artistic talent shine. The theme is home and/or garden. You may create home and/or garden objects made out of flowers (an attendee favorite) or arrange flowers in a way that symbolizes home and/or garden. This is a floral design competition so fresh flowers must be used, but can be in combination with other plant or plant-like material as well as dried flowers. There is no restriction on size or use of containers. See below for more information, past entries, and how to participate.
