Morning of Design

The weather was a perfect suny, autumn day in Fort Washington, MD.  St. John's Episcipal Church was the perfect venue for a Morning of Design.  Tanta-Cove Garden Club did a fabulous job hosting for District 1!  Many first time attendees were wowed by the designs of Babs McClendon, Karen Lucas and Jane Goodman.  

Here are just a few pictures of such a wonderful 

day!

Babs prepared a handout that many in the audience found very useful.  She also told a story of buying fishing equiment to give motion to a display.  

Karen displayed some of her favorite treasures which she finds out and about like pieces of driftwood.  She talked about the importance of a base not distracting from the sculpture.

Jane, as well as Karen, demonstrated how changing the background color can change the arrangement.  Here Jane is adding flowers to an arrangement with a red background and then check out the arrangement with a yellow background.

Jane also stressed the importance of depth.


Everyone had a chance to walk around and look at the arrangements after the presentations.
