Here are some things we saw:
THIS was the Entry Garden (non-judged) at the entrance to the Show. It was designed by: Alex Smith Garden Design, Ltd.
I really liked this "vertical garden" of stacked-squares (you know how I like squares. If memory serves, this was by: Design Install Maintain: 770-222-3304. Very creative displays!
This is from one of the design vignettes sponsored by ADAC. I thought Jeffrey Bruce Baker had a wonderful space, featuring this FABULOUS cream ceramic flower shown on the book: The Mad Men of Modern.
For a Flower Show, I thought this arrangement, shadowboxed in an oval frame, mimicking the oval spiral, was beautiful. Kathryn Hendicks, from The Peachtree Garden Club, entered this. She won 1st place in her category! Congrats, Kate!
THIS floral-arrangement, in a University of Georgia football helmet, was a BIG hit,...with the public, and, as you can see by their 1st-place ribbon, with the judges. Very clever! Something to keep in mind for those tailgate parties!!!!
Ed Castro Landscaping , who had a HUGE display, never disappoints. This water-feature was unique, textural, and very-simple. Ed's gardens were packed with inspirational ideas. Many of my interior-design clients use Ed Castro; he certainly listens to his clients and their landscape dreams.
One of my favourite stops at The Flower Show was stopping to talk to the man showing his peonys. He had all colours available, and said he had a great Show, which didn't surprise me. His business is in Bernardsville, New Jersey; website: http://peonysenvy.com. Anyone looking to plant some healthy peonys,....I'd contact these nice folks. They CERTAINLY get the "Business Name of the Year:" Peony's Envy,....which he assured me that his wife named years ago. Here's their sign:
HILARIOUS! ....and, I bet you never forget it!
Try to attend NEXT YEAR'S Southeastern Flower Show; it's always great to see floral-designers' creativity and inspiration!
Keep Calm And Plant Something!
