Ever feel lucky to work where you do?  I sure did this weekend, we had a special

guest who came to educate and guide our designers with upcoming trends in event

floral displays. Rich Salvaggio from Teleflora.

Welcome!

We learned a lot and had a good time too!
Teams of designers were given “themes” to work event pieces around.  Here are a few pics.

This Theme is “Under the Sea”

Are those fish - no, they just look like fish - they are cut from Heleconia flowers
