Floral designs in Garden Council are very different from those that follow American Rose Society Guidelines. I always enjoy seeing the different approaches to floral design.
The Council of Albuquerque Garden Clubs Spring Flower Show was held on June 16, 2013.
I thought this entry by Debi Harrington, who won Best of Show at the Rose Show three weeks earlier, was stunning. The class was entitled Ä Day Hike in the Woods.” It called for all dry plant material.

It was fun to see designs so different from those I am used to seeing in rose shows, and to meet new people (and to see some old friends).
Great photography of some very beautiful, creative floral designs. Thanks for sharing.
I thought they were really interesting also. I’m glad you enjoyed them!
