Calling all of the plant moms and dads, the biophilia fans, and the design junkies!
Tag along with Jess Conley (TBG Horticulturist) as she demoes how to create a FLOWERING, low-water, year round, COLOURFUL, Cacti and Succulent living arrangement. Tapping into her past in floristry and design, she’ll teach you industry secrets to make your container arrangements pop, draw the eye, and flower floriferously.
Designing with colour for maximum impact, marrying design strategies and horticultural know-how, to get the most ornamental value. These types of arrangements, if done properly will last many years and function as living art.
The demo planter will be going home with one lucky attendee!
