On Wednesday, October 8, the Town and Country Garden Club of Newtown will host a program presented by Trish Manfredi titled “Fabulous Flower Show Designs.”

Using exciting uses of color and texture, Ms Manfredi will create unique floral designs suitable for display at a flower show. She will demonstrate the similarities and differences between traditional, creative, and abstract floral design. Tips and techniques that encourage creativity and make flower arranging fun will be demonstrated as well.

Ms Manfredi is an accredited Garden Club Flower Show Judge.  In 2013, she won the Peoples’ Choice Award at the Wadsworth Atheneum and she has been an invited designed at the New Britain Museum of American Art and the Florence Griswold Museum. 

The program starts at 7 pm at Newtown Senior Center, 14 Riverside Road in Sandy Hook. The public is welcome, free of charge.

Local garden clubs who are planning on staging a flower show are especially encouraged to join Town & Country members for the presentation.
