San Antonio Garden Center Floral Design School

The Challenge:
Members of San Antonio Garden Center create fresh flower arrangements with flowers they see for the first time the morning of Festival of Flowers

If you love fresh flower arrangements, and want to learn how to make your own designs, then be sure to stop by the Floral Design Challenge, presented by San Antonio Garden Center.

On the morning of the show, members arrive with their containers and select their flowers from a beautiful collection donated by San Antonio Flower Co. They have 90 minutes to create their designs—they welcome visitors and will explain their techniques while they work.

Once the designs are completed, they will be on display and visitors can vote on their favorite.
