Floral designer creates holiday arrangements for York club

YORK, Maine — The Old York Garden Club held its membership meeting at Fellowship Hall of the First Parish Church in York on Wednesday, Nov. 14. Guest speaker Diane Bullock presented her program, “Happy Holidays – Yes, You Can Do It.”

She created several floral designs for the audience and suggested that members explore their own gardens for seedpods, leaves, and branches that could be incorporated into an arrangement, sometimes with a touch of spray paint for sparkle. Diane is a past state president of the Garden Club Federation of Mass. Inc. and has distinguished herself as chairperson of the New England Flower Show.

On Monday, Nov. 19, Old York Garden Club held a holiday design workshop. Members brought their flowers, greens, gourds and plant material. Design Advisor Becky Renner provided instruction in form, placement, color and mechanics.

Working together, members created their own floral arrangement for their Thanksgiving table.

Next month on Dec. 12, Old York Garden Club will host its annual greens workshop, a do-it-yourself workshop for members who want to create wreaths, swags, and centerpieces for the holidays. Board members provide homemade soups for lunch.

Design Chairperson Becky Renner will be on hand to consult with design suggestions and bow making ideas.
