Dear

This week’s inspiration is royalty. I staged a design at the Government House in British Columbia’s capital, Victoria, Canada as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II and the 20th Anniversary of Friends of Government House Gardens Society. I received a ribbon award for my design

Enjoy!

Every good wish,

Christine

Competitive Floral Artists will soon encounter the phrase “Scale of Endeavour” in competition marking schedules. It is part of the Technique section of the marking schedule and rates the competence and skill of the designer and how difficult the design was to make.

It has also been suggested that the phrase “plant material must predominate” in floral art and competition schedules need to be replaced with ‘At least two thirds of the finished design must be fresh flowers and/or plant material.’ Source: Florint.org International Florist Association
