Margaret Taylor, a TBG Board Member and Coordinator for the TBG Floral Design Certificate Program recently won the Barbara Laking Memorial Award for the Best in Show at the Garden Clubs of Ontario Flower Show held at Royal Botanical Gardens June 1-3.
Margaret's creation was entered in a class called Cirque de Soleil, a floor design category celebrating circus arts. This design showcases lots of rhythm and movement and colour reminiscent of acrobats, high wire acts and other circus performers.
Margaret will represent Canada in the Honorary Exhibits at the World Association of Flower Arrangers World Show (WAFA) to be held in Boston on June 15-19, 2011.
Marisa Bergagnini, former President of our club and current
Vice-President of the Garden Clubs of Ontario represented Canada in the international My Homeland demonstration at WAFA (World Association of Flower Arrangers) held last June in Boston. She was assisted by Joyce Johnson of our club and Past President of the GCO, Elaine Mayo. Marisa's design was beautiful, with trees covered in snow, skyscrapers, water and the Northern Lights. Her design reflected the best of Canada and she surely made us sparkle in front of a large international audience.
