A floral competition honouring Mother Nature will blossom in Chilliwack later this spring.
The Floral Artists of the Fraser Valley’s annual spring show ‘Enchanted Spring: A Tribute to Mother Nature’ will be on display at Cottonwood Centre on May 24 and 25.
Both members of the floral artist group and the public can enter the competition. It is a judged show and each class has a title to be interpreted through flowers and/or foliage. Deadline for entries is May 13.
The club began in Chilliwack in 2006 but draws its members from the Port Mann Bridge to Hope. The Floral Artists of the Fraser Valley operates under the umbrella of the BC Council of Garden Clubs, and is one of five floral art clubs in B.C. now organized as Canadian Western Association of Floral Art Clubs.
This year, the national association was accepted for membership in the World Association of Floral Artists which gives them access to the activities of floral art clubs worldwide and the opportunity to see and to enter the international shows (real or virtual) — and for them to enter the local Fraser Valley shows.
There is no fee to enter the spring show and the information (all the classes, titles, rules, and regulations for the show) is available from show chairperson Sandra Froese at froese.sandra2@gmail.com or 604-823-7335. Entries may be registered by contacting Gail Loewen, dgloewen@gmail.com or 604-769-4400. Deadline for entries is May 13.
Spring floral art show ‘Enchanted Spring, a Tribute to Mother Nature’ by the Floral Artists of the Fraser Valley is at Cottonwood Centre on Friday, May 24 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday, May 25 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The show will be set up at the east end of the mall in the corridor west of Save-On-Foods.
