Off to see the wizard… the wonderful wizard of ASFA!
Our team had the fabulous opportunity to attend the Alabama State Florist Association‘s 2012 Annual Convention this past weekend in Montgomery. How fun is a Wizard of Oz themed event, especially for florists? Just imagine all you can do with ruby slippers, Emerald City and yellow brick road inspiration!
Flower Shop Network was off to see the Wizard with our very interesting booth arrangement for this show.
Can you see our Mr. Wizards?
Flora Tashia or “The Art of Flowers” was the theme for this years 2010 Alabama State Florists Association‘s annual convention, and what a great show it was! Tons of great presentations, amazing hands-on workshops by industry stars, floral design competitions — all in the most beautiful little place in Alabama, Guntersville State Park. Here are a few pictures and winners from the event:
