Wed., June 12, 2019 - General Meeting: You may have many flowers blooming in your garden this spring and would like to learn how to make some beautiful bouquets. If so, you won't want to miss this meeting. We are fortunate to have David Root, one of our most popular speakers, return to the OH Garden Club to present another enjoyable talk on flower arranging. He will be demonstrating a number of floral arrangements, from contemporary to traditional. Mr. Root will give us tips and tricks on how to create artistic designs using unique containers. He has offered to donate a few flower arrangements for our raffle following the meeting. David Root's career as a floral designer was a natural outgrowth of his 11 years as a hair designer. In 1990, his creative instincts spontaneously led him to become one of the hundreds of volunteers, known as "petal pushers," who work on the spectacular floats in Pasadena's Rose Parade. In 2017, he was the recipient of one of the most prestigious awards on the West Coast, California State Floral Association Top Ten winner. He won the coveted Designer of the Year award at the San Diego County Fair in 1992.
