98 Continuing Education at Longwood Gardens / 2018
Jane has received awards from the Garden Club of America and by the American Horticultural Society for her passion and skill as an educator. She has trained the world over, and draws upon this experience while putting her own distinctly American signature on each and every design. See her demonstrate designs for a tea, a formal setting, a beach party, even a vegetable garden. Everyone loves a party and there’s no better setting for one than a garden. The evening includes a complimentary wine and cheese reception and silent auction for a chance to bid on Jane’s designs. This show counts as the Floral Design Lecture credit towards the Floral Design Certificate.
