Last week, talented gardner and blossoming floral designer, Mary Schlotter participated in The Centerport Garden Club's Flower Show at Harborfields Public Library in Greenlawn, N.Y. The show was themed Sail Away and Mary also had a hand in the making of some of the props such as the lighthouse in the center of the room and the flower arrangements on the tables in the cafe (pictured below). She took Third Place for both of her entries and in my humble opinion, she should have won First Place. But this was after all her flower show debut so Third is pretty righteous.
Congratulations Mom!

Mary's flower design...simple & elegant.
She designed and made the vessel out of razor clam shells...
Sea holly, snap dragon, white peony, hydrangea, bridal wreath, kiwi...so creative.
